Trump tried to fire Corporation for Public Broadcasting board members. Then came DOGE

The President attempted to fire three members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) board but faced a legal block due to federal law ensuring its independence. Meanwhile, a DOGE staffer tried to assign an evaluation team to CPB under unclear directives from Trump's administration, which denied the request citing the organization's constitutional protection. The case highlights ongoing tensions between Trump and public broadcasters as he pushes to end federal funding for key institutions like PBS and NPR.
