BREAKING: Federal judge denies Corporation for Public Broadcasting's request for a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from taking actions in furtherance of Trump's purported firing of three members of the board.

2 at 1. Although the case presents important questions regarding the status of the Corporation
and its relationship with the federal government, the Court must leave those questions for
another day. For present purposes and on the present record, it is enough to conclude that
Plaintiffs have failed to carry their burden of demonstrating that they are likely to prevail on the
merits of their claim for injunctive relief or that Plaintiffs are likely to suffer irreparable harm in
the absence of preliminary relief.

The Court will, accordingly, DENY Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, but
will do so without prejudice to Plaintiffs renewing their motion should Defendants (or those
acting in concert with them) take steps to interfere in the independence of the Corporation
