The District Judge said the decision to close the media was the most frustrating display of arbitrariness and capriciousness.
The Federal Court in Washington admitted that US President Donald Trump’s attempt to close America’s voice violates the law and the constitution. The court ordered the Trump administration to restore the work of the media resources. On Tuesday, April 22, a politician reported.
According to the publication, District Judge Roys Lambert said the administration’s quick actions to remove American vote and other information structures funded by the US agency for global media that led to the abolition of ways -journalists and employees, many of them could evict their countries.
Stopping broadcasting – for the first time in 80 years – the way -millions of audiences have also been released by a reliable news source of news in many countries of the world.
According to the judge, “For more than 80 years, the Voice of America radio station has been working according to the authorized mandate and because of the continued allocation of Congress, and thus create a audience of 425 million listeners … especially in parts of the world where the free press is not available.”
At the same time, the administration does not provide almost any justification of these cuts, Lambert emphasized.
“It’s hard to imagine a more straightforward manifestation of arbitrariness and anger than the actions of the defendants in this regard,” he said.
Lambert indicated that these actions were probably a direct violation of the Constitution, because “the administration’s reluctance to spend funds in accordance with the laws of the provisions adopted by Congress was a direct insult to the power of the legislative branch.”
He ordered the Trump administration to immediately continue the broadcast of Voice of America, restore all employees and employment contractors and funding for other affiliate networks, such as Radio Free Asia and the Middle East Broadcasting Network.
The Voice of America was established in 1942. The publication was considered a major American “soft power” which aims to promote foreign democracy.
