Voice of America journalists face investigations for Trump comments: NYT

Voice of America is undergoing investigations into its journalists for comments perceived as critical of President Donald Trump, according to several employees.
On February 28, Steven Herman, a prominent journalist at Voice of America, was placed on an extended excused absence pending an investigation into his social media activity, as confirmed by Herman himself.
Patsy Widakuswara, the White House bureau chief, was involuntarily reassigned, which some journalists believe was to reduce conflict with the Trump administration.
Richard Grenell criticized Herman's comments as 'treasonous,' arguing that it is wrong to oppose U.S. Policies while being funded by taxpayers.
