The correspondence said in full, &#8220;On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is terminated effective immediately. Thank you for your service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was no further reason given for the terminations. In a statement, White House spokesman Taylor Rogers said that the &#8220;courts have affirmed&#8221; that &#8220;the Constitution gives President Trump the power to remove personnel who exercise his executive authority. The Trump Administration looks forward to ultimate victory on the issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was formed in 1967, is a private corporation that helps support and steward hundreds of public media organizations, including radio and TV stations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In March, Mr. Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RapidResponse47\/status\/1904610620659687944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said he<\/a> &#8220;would love to&#8221; cut funding to NPR and PBS, the two highest-profile public media organizations. Much of the public money for NPR and PBS flows through the Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>In their legal filing, the three ousted officials argue the Trump administration risks incurring damage of the organization by alleged overreach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These harms include the frustration of CPB&#8217;s mission and statutory obligations, ultra vires actions taken by unlawfully installed officials, the exposure of attorney-client privileged documents and sensitive operational and personal information, the permanent destruction of documents and other real property, the loss of goodwill and public trust, chilled speech, and possible destruction of the CPB itself,&#8221; their lawyers said in the filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rothman is a former Sony executive and Kaplan is a former Alaska public radio official. All three were all appointed in 2022 by President Biden.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/scott-macfarlane\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Scott  MacFarlane<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/scott-macfarlane\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/80x80\/3d64bfebf6e5c49817b2a092e16191fe\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=fbebbf93950d87ce40fccd82890f0617#\" alt=\"headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/80x80\/3d64bfebf6e5c49817b2a092e16191fe\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=fbebbf93950d87ce40fccd82890f0617 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/2547b37b-aacb-4322-8642-5a0e056a304f\/thumbnail\/160x160\/51c5e90efa00098be23a0152835d52e7\/headshot-600-scott-macfarlane.jpg?v=fbebbf93950d87ce40fccd82890f0617 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Scott MacFarlane is CBS News&#8217; Justice correspondent.
