Court BLOCKS Kari Lake Firing VOA Chief!! ⚖️ #KariLake #VOA #FederalCourt
A federal appeals court has just ruled that Kari Lake was never authorized to fire Michael Abramowitz, the director of the Voice of America. On Tuesday, 10 November 2026, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit held that only the independent International Broadcasting Advisory Board can remove the VOA director — and that the law creating the board is "constitutionally valid." The ruling upholds Judge Royce Lamberth's August 2025 decision. Abramowitz remains on administrative leave; the court's order blocks his removal. The administration can ask the full D.C. Circuit or the Supreme Court to step in. The fight over the Voice of America is far from over.

In this video: what the D.C. Circuit actually ruled; who Michael Abramowitz and Kari Lake are, and what the Voice of America is; the firing in August 2025; Judge Lamberth's 2025 ruling — only a majority vote of the International Broadcasting Advisory Board can remove the director; the bigger fight — the March 2025 executive order, 1,300 staff on leave, 639 layoff notices in June 2025, and the One America News deal; the administration's constitutional challenge to the board law — and why the court rejected it; and what happens next.
