  • Nearly 200 officials from public radio stations across the country are descending on Capitol Hill to seek to convince lawmakers to maintain funding for public broadcasting despite President Trump's campaign against it.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) has filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, alleging that his administration unlawfully withheld funding from public broadcasting entities such as PBS and NPR. The lawsuit claims that Trump's actions were politically motivated and aimed at silencing critical voices in public media.

The case highlights ongoing tensions between public media and political figures, with potential implications for the independence and financial support of organizations like PBS and NPR.
