A U.S. government watchdog has cleared six senior officials at the government s independent media agency of wrongdoing when they protested last year that the agency s chief, appointed by former President Donald Trump, was attempting to politicize news operations.
The inspector general at the U.S. State Department recently concluded that Trump administration officials including Michael Pack had unlawfully retaliated against the six, five of whom have been reinstated under President Joe Biden while a sixth retired.
Pack at the time was chief executive officer of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees five networks: Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, the Middle East Broadcasting Network, and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting.
