US EditionTrump tried to fire Corporation for Public Broadcasting board members. Then came DOGE
- In late April 2025, President Trump sought to remove three members from the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an action that led to legal disputes in Washington, D.C.
- This effort occurred amid federal law that establishes CPB as an independent nonprofit protected from government control, creating conflict over Trump's authority.
- Within a day of the attempted dismissals, DOGE personnel sought to deploy a team to examine CPB’s activities; however, CPB officials rejected the proposal, referencing laws that designate the organization as an independent entity outside of federal government oversight.
- For the present fiscal year, Congress has provided CPB with $535 million, maintaining the same amount in the recent temporary spending legislation, although the administration has expressed a desire to reclaim these funds through a rescission process.
- Legal proceedings continue with CPB seeking to block the removals to maintain quorum for upcoming meetings, reflecting ongoing disputes about federal interference and public broadcasting funding.
