Trump-Appointed CEO Accused of Abusing Power at Voice of America

A federal inquiry has found that Michael Pack, a Trump-appointed CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), abused his power and retaliated against whistleblowers during his less-than-eight-month tenure. The Office of Special Counsel found that Pack interfered with independent journalism at Voice of America and other outlets he oversaw, mismanaged and wasted funds, and attempted to force out agency executives for their political beliefs. Pack rescinded the security clearances of six members of USAGM’s Senior Executive Service and hired a private law firm to provide post-hoc justifications for his actions.

Investigation reveals Trump's CEO abused power at Voice of America.

A federal investigation found that former CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Michael Pack, repeatedly engaged in abuses of power and gross mismanagement during his seven-and-a-half month tenure. Pack sought to eliminate anti-Trump sentiment at the Voice of America and other networks funded by the federal government, and punished executives who objected to the legality of his plans. The report independently corroborates many whistleblower complaints and depicts Pack's brief tenure as an ideologically driven rampage through a government agency to try to force its newsrooms and workforce to show fealty to the White House.
