The Office of Special Counsel found that 'CEO [Michael] Pack was responsible for numerous improper activities,” including “abuse of authority, gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, or a violation of law, rule, or regulation.”
has found numerous incidents of wrongdoing by a Trump appointee who served as CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees, including attempting to force out agency executives for their political believes.
The Office of Special Counsel found that “during his less-than-eight-month tenure CEO [Michael] Pack was responsible for numerous improper activities,” including “abuse of authority, gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, or a violation of law, rule, or regulation.” The OSC’s report concluded that Pack “abused his authority and retaliated against career USAGM executives who engaged in whistleblowing.
The day following his confirmation as CEO of USAGM, Pack and a career employee met to decide which executives to target based on their perceived political beliefs. In a memo, an employee wrote about the alleged beliefs of the senior leaders at Voice of America,. “Hates Republicans,” the employee said of one senior leader. “Openly despises Trump and Republicans,” the memo described another. The memo alleged that a third senior leader “is not on the Trump team.
As CEO, Park rescinded the security clearances of six members of USAGM’s Senior Executive Service. After the suspensions, Pack “then hired a private law firm to provide post-hoc justifications” for his actions, the report said. It further alleges Pack suspended security clearances, rather than removing the executives in other ways, in order to “circumvent otherwise available procedural protections and legal restrictions on removal of executives.
USAGM has oversight of Voice of America and other broadcast outlets, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia, that are funded by the federal government. These outlets are designed to bring news to nations where a free press is repressed or not financially viable.
