A federal judge sided with silenced Voice of America journalists on Friday, the latest setback for President Trump’s push to shut down US government-funded international broadcasters. US District Court Judge J. Paul Oetken issued a temporary restraining order meant to block any further efforts to terminate VOA. The judge found that the executive branch “is usurping Congress’s power of the purse and its legislative supremacy” by scrapping a congressionally chartered agency. The restraining order means that the judge believes the VOA journalists are likely to prevail on the merits of the case. Andrew G. Celli Jr., an attorney for the VOA journalists who filed suit, said that “this is a decisive victory for press freedom and the First Amendment, and a sharp rebuke to an Administration that has shown utter disregard for the principles that define our democracy.” For now Voice of America is still offline and off the air, but Celli said “we are prepared for the next battle,” and other lawsuits against the shutdown are looming. Trump said two weeks ago that he wanted VOA’s parent, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, eliminated “to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”
