A federal court on Sunday declined a request from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to block the Trump administration from removing three members of its board of directors.

CPB is a nonprofit distributing funds to more than 1,600 public television and radio stations such as PBS and NPR. On April 28, White House official Trent Morse informed three CPB board members—Laura Ross, Thomas Rothman, and Diane Kaplan—that they were being removed from their positions.
