NPR Sues Trump
Trump's assault on the free press is violating the First Amendment.
By John Amato — May 27, 2025
NPR is officially suing the Trump administration for signing an executive order that cuts all funding to the broadcaster.
Trump has been attacking VOA and PBS as well in his effort to gain a fascist hold on the media.
Trump’s May 1 order violates the First Amendment’s protections for speech and the press and steps on Congress’ authority, NPR and three other public radio stations claim in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C.
