The judge orders the Trump officials to fill out the financing for Radio -Free Europe

A federal judge instructed the Trump administration on Tuesday to exploit the Congress granted grant money, which it provides for a news from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a news financed by the Federal States, which provides independent reporting in countries with limited press freedom.

The judge Royce C. Lamberth from the US district court for the District of Columbia ordered the Trump administration to pay the news organization 12 million US dollars for its financing in April. Judge Lamberth seemed to conclude a gap from his earlier decision, which made it possible for the Trump government to effectively keep donations for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and at the same time to comply with the court mandate.

“In this case,” wrote the judge in his decision: “It was the congress that ordered that the funds in question should go to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the legislation signed by President Trump himself.

“In short: the current congress and the President Trump have enacted a law that admits the plaintiffs,” he concluded.

The judge, a representative of President Ronald Reagan, also offered an unusual defense of the Federal Justice and his impartial nature, as Mr. Trump has asked for the federal judge to take office in recent months, and in some cases he asked about open courts.

In the past few months, Richter Lamberth wrote: “People from the inside and outside the government have differentiated the courts – I myself – to prepare a constitutional crisis, to use the articles of the presidency and to undermine or dictate the population how executive agencies can and should run.”
