Trump Appointee Sued For Firing International Media Executives : NPR

New U.S. Agency for Global Media CEO Michael Pack swept into office like a man on a mission last week, firing the top executives and advisory boards of federally funded international broadcasters which weekly reach 340 million people abroad. A new lawsuit alleges he broke federal law in doing so.

On June 9, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Pack’s aides ordered the international broadcasters under his agency’s supervision to “freeze” all new hiring, staff promotions and other contractual obligations.
