The Trump administration announced layoffs for nearly 600 Voice of America employees as Trump continues to retool the costs and structure of the federal government.
The number being eliminated amounts to about one-third of the employees of VOA’s employees.
Per Just the News:
Those fired were told their last day of work will be May 30, which also will be the deadline to return badges, credentials, and other VOA property, The Hill reported.
The firings follow U.S. Agency for Global Media senior adviser Kari Lake’s announcement last week that One America News Network will provide news-feed services to the agency’s network of outlets.
“I don’t have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs,” Lake said in her announcement.
Activist judges have, of course, tried to intervene to stop Trump from doing what he was hired by the voters to do.
Like they are with nearly every single thing he is doing.
