Trump-Appointed CEO Accused of Abusing Power at Voice of America

A federal inquiry has found that Michael Pack, a Trump-appointed CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), abused his power and retaliated against whistleblowers during his less-than-eight-month tenure. Pack attempted to force out agency executives for their political beliefs, interfered with independent journalism, and mismanaged and wasted funds. The Office of Special Counsel found that Pack "abused his authority and retaliated against career USAGM executives who engaged in whistleblowing."
