An appeals court order Tuesday to halt the reinstatement of Voice of America staff has prolonged uncertainty at the global broadcaster left decimated by Kari Lake, the former Phoenix TV news anchor.
VOA had an audience of 360 million before President Donald Trump installed Lake at VOA’s parent agency, which broadcast in 49 languages under a congressional mandate to provide unbiased news around the world.
She quickly shut down most VOA operations and placed nearly all of its workforce on leave. Nearly a year later, on March 7, a federal judge voided those orders, finding that Lake had been appointed illegally. For current and former employees, the ruling was a long-awaited vindication.
