NPR, along with three Colorado public radio stations, has initiated a lawsuit against President Trump and members of his administration, challenging an executive order that threatens to withdraw public funding from NPR and PBS. The suit contends that Trump has overstepped his executive authority by bypassing Congress' role in the appropriation of public funds. The case highlights the ongoing conflict between executive actions and legislative powers regarding public broadcasting financing.
The lawsuit by NPR and Colorado public radio stations argues that President Trump's executive order infringes on Congress' constitutional authority to allocate public funds.
The defendants in the lawsuit include President Trump, White House budget director Russel Vought, and others for allegedly misusing executive power regarding public broadcasting funding.
