The US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has granted a stay on an order mandating the reinstatement of former Voice of America employees amid plans to overhaul the agency under President Trump, which Kari Lake claims will 'modernize' the organization. The decision backs the Trump administration's efforts to transform the agency as part of its broader restructuring push.
