Judge Allows CPB Board Member Removal, But Restricts Replacements

Judge Allows CPB Board Member Removal, But Restricts Replacements

A judge decided that Donald Trump can't be stopped from trying to remove people from the board that oversees public media, like PBS and NPR.

The CPB sued the government because the president wants to get rid of board members.

However, the judge said Trump can't just put new people in their place.

The CPB is an organization that gives money to public media.

The CPB's board also changed its rules to try and protect itself.

Now, Congress is deciding whether to cut funding for public broadcasting.
