Court finds Kari Lake’s USAGM tenure unlawful, voids her acting-CEO actions
TL;DR
A federal judge ruled that Kari Lake was illegally empowered to serve as acting CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, voiding her four-month tenure and related actions—including a workforce reduction—because she lacked Senate confirmation and because delegations from the previous acting CEO bypassed the Senate's advice and consent role.
