A federal judge ruled in favor of reinstating Voice of America and other government-funded news services after they were targeted by cuts during President Trump's administration.

Lamberth's ruling, part of a larger 37-page memorandum, grants a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's efforts to close these vital news services, which are essential for global informational outreach and the jobs of numerous employees.
