Radio Free Asia v. United States of America
Case Overview
Radio Free Asia sued the Trump administration over U.S. Agency for Global Media's decision to freeze congressionally appropriated funds and to terminate RFA's grant.
The Application
Radio Free Asia received funds through a congressionally appropriated USAGM grant. The Trump administration's decision to freeze those funds and terminate RFA's grant constitutes a potential impoundment of appropriated funds without Congressional approval, raising questions about whether USAGM possessed statutory authority to take such action.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in D.C. District Court under Judge Royce C. Lamberth. The resolution will determine whether the executive freeze and grant termination violated the Impoundment Control Act or exceeded USAGM's delegated authority.
