Episode Description from the Publisher

The US Agency for Global Media has been the subject of a tug of war since President Trump named Kari Lake to lead it and ultimately shut it down. A judge recently ruled that mass layoffs and other actions to dismantle the agency are void, because Lake’s initial appointment didn’t follow Senate confirmation requirements. Find out from Kari Lake why the agency is in Trump’s crosshairs.
