The Trump administration Department of Justice has filed suit against
three former board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
(CPB) who were fired in late April, but the DOJ claims they are still
acting as if they were not.
The suit is filed in the federal court in the District of Columbia,
where the defendants sought to have their jobs preserved, but the
court ruled against them.
The DOJ raises that issue in its suit to have the three removed from
the CPB offices.
"Defendants are defiantly acting as if the Court granted the relief
the Court denied raising the question of why they bothered to seek
preliminary relief and consume the resources of the Court and the
parties if they were simply going to ignore any adverse ruling."
The Trump administration says the three have continued to act as
though they were still legitimate members of the CPB board,
"participating in board meetings, voting on resolutions and other
business that comes before the board, and presenting themselves to the
public as board members."
The DOJ labeled their actions as "manifestly unlawful."
The three have already been fired. The suit seeks to have the federal
judge who upheld that decision earlier again verify they've been fired
but also allow their removal from maintaining a presence at the CPB
offices.
The three board members are identified in the suit as Laura Ross,
Thomas Rothman, and Diane Kaplan. They are among a group of Biden
appointees to federal positions who are balking at being handed
dismissal notices from the Trump administration.
