President Donald Trump issued an executive order late Thursday night that instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt all direct federal funding to the nation’s two major public broadcasting networks – the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR). The move will directly affect the roughly 1,500 public media stations nationwide, as well as national programs like the PBS News Hour. Trump also directed CPB – a congressionally chartered, private, nonprofit corporation which provides more than $500 million to local PBS and NPR stations every year – to eliminate indirect government sources of financing for the networks. Patricia Harrison, the president of CPB, said in a statement that the corporation is “not a federal executive agency subject to the president’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government.” CPB filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration earlier this week after the White House fired three of the corporation’s board members. The executive order is also expected to be challenged in court. PBS CEO Paula Kerger called Trump’s executive order “blatantly unlawful,” while NPR CEO Katherine Maher said her organization “will vigorously defend our right to provide essential news, information and life-saving services to the American public. We will challenge this executive order using all means available.” The order came on the heels of reports the White House planned to engage Congress in an effort to rescind already distributed funds from the public media networks. It’s unclear at this time if the rescission plan will move forward following Trump’s executive order. Both NPR and PBS are engaged in campaigns to encourage their supporters to lobby Congress to protect federal funding. The Trump administration argues that taxpayers should not be supporting media that he argues carries a liberal bias. The president has referred to the news media as “the enemy of the people,” filed lawsuits against CBS News and ABC News, and pushed The Associated Press out of the press pool whose job is to cover his administration.

President Donald Trump asked Congress on Tuesday to take back $9.4 billion in federal funding for foreign aid, the State Department and public media. The rescission request would codify the work of the Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development, eliminate foreign aid programs it deemed wasteful and cease funding for other international institutions. The rescission request would affect USAID and the PEPFAR program for HIV/AIDS relief, among other programs. It also includes almost $1.1 billion in funds that were previously approved by Congress to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). CPB distributes funds to NPR and PBS local stations, which combine federal money and their own fundraising efforts to support the public media networks. CPB funding is typically approved two years in advance to discourage political influence over the budgeting process. Congress now has 45 days to act on the request. The move is the Trump administration's latest effort to defund PBS and NPR. Last month, Trump issued an executive order to end federal funding for both organizations, accusing them of bias and arguing they should not be supported by taxpayer dollars. PBS and NPR have filed separate lawsuits against the executive order, citing First Amendment violations. Both the House and Senate need to approve the request for the funding to be rescinded. If either chamber denies or ignores the request, the Trump administration will be legally required to release the money. Lisa Desjardins takes a closer look at what's in the request.
