Voice of America Director Sues to Prevent Closure

Michael Abramowitz, the director of Voice of America, is suing the Trump administration, claiming the decision to disband the media outlet is unlawful.

Abramowitz filed his suit in Washington, D.C., Wednesday

“Closing down Voice of America would be an incalculable self-inflicted wound for America and deprive the U.S. of a priceless asset,” Abramowitz wrote on LinkedIn. “Our enemies are already rejoicing. In Africa and Latin America, shutting down VOA would cede entire continents to America’s adversaries and allow authoritarian regimes to seed anti-American narratives.”
