💨 Abstract

A federal judge is investigating whether the Trump administration is complying with his order to preserve Voice of America (VOA). Over 600 VOA employees received layoff notices, and approximately 1,400 have lost their jobs since March. The administration claims it is reforming a bloated bureaucracy, but the judge and plaintiffs' attorneys argue that leaving employees on paid leave and silencing broadcasts violates congressional mandates.
