Those employees represent the vast majority of its remaining staff.<\/p>\n<p>Kari Lake, the agency&#8217;s acting CEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KariLake\/status\/1961600955343843577\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announced in late August<\/a> that the job cuts would take effect Tuesday.

The networks, which together reach an estimated 427 million people, date to the Cold War and are part of a network of government-funded organizations trying to extend U.S. influence and combat authoritarianism.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcasters have for decades served to project American values around the world while sharing fact-based news in a variety of languages.

The agency placed almost all of its full-time employees on administrative leave.<\/p>\n<p>In announcing the job cuts on social media last month, Lake said the agency &#8220;will continue to fulfill its statutory mission &#8230; and will likely improve its ability to function.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I look forward to taking additional steps in the coming months to improve the functioning of a very broken agency and make sure America&#8217;s voice is heard abroad where it matters most,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiffs&#8217; attorney Georgina Yeomans argued Monday that the cuts would cement the agency&#8217;s programming at deficient levels that don&#8217;t comply with the judge&#8217;s orders. Yeomans said it&#8217;s unclear who at the agency is making key decisions, such as which jobs to eliminate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We simply do not know,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>    <!--
