President Donald Trump’s war with the media has a new front. National Public Radio is suing his administration over an executive order to cut off funding for the radio network and other public news outlets.
NPR and three Colorado affiliates filed the lawsuit on Tuesday, arguing that the order violated the First Amendment and “flatly contravenes statutes duly enacted by Congress and violates the Separation of Powers and the Spending Clause by disregarding Congress’s express command.”
