A plan to bring back Voice of America’s employees, who have largely been sidelined by the Trump administration for a year, was halted late Tuesday.
A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stayed part of a March ruling by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth that would have sent 1,000 staffers back to work. However, the panel didn’t touch most of the ruling, in which the judge found that a plan by Trump administration official Kari Lake to wind down the global broadcasting agency to its “statutory minimum” was illegal.
