A federal judge found that Trump loyalist Kari Lake unlawfully ran a federal agency for several months last year. As a result, various actions Lake, 56, took while heading the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) are void, ruled Judge US District Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Saturday. This includes over 1,000 layoffs at Voice of America (VOA), which is run by USAGM. Lamberth ruled that Lake was “plainly ineligible” to serve as acting CEO under the Vacancies Act because her appointment was not approved by the Senate.
