A Donald Trump nominee’s actions in office were ruled “void” on Saturday after a conservative judge found that she was “illegally elevated.”
Trump ally Kari Lake was put in charge of the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) by Trump. She soon went down a path of trying to systematically destroy her own agency.
Now, as part of a lawsuit brought against Lake, a judge has ruled that she was improperly put in charge.
Kyle Cheney, senior legal affairs reporter for Politico, reported the news over the weekend.
“JUST IN: Kari Lake was illegally elevated to the run US Agency for Global media, a federal judge ruled Saturday, concluding that all of her actions between July 31 and Nov. 19 are *void* and cannot be ratified retroactively,” Cheney wrote.
The judge, Royce Lamberth, was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.
