President Donald Trump’s order cutting funding for media outlets violates the U.S. Constitution, National Public Radio (NPR) said in a lawsuit filed on May 27.

The order violates the First Amendment’s protection of expression, the suit states.

“The Order also violates due process, the Separation of Powers and the Spending Clause of the Constitution,” it <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25953966-npr-lawsuit-against-trump/">says</a>.

The suit was filed in federal court in Washington.

The White House, the Department of the Treasury, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Trump’s May 1 order <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-orders-to-cut-federal-funding-for-npr-and-pbs-citing-biased-reporting-5851166">directed</a> the corporation, a nonprofit established by Congress in 1967 to oversee taxpayer-funded broadcasters, to end direct funding for NPR and the Public Broadcasting Service, or PBS.

The order says that no outlets have a constitutional right to public money and that neither outlet “presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens.” That’s despite the law establishing the corporation saying the entity cannot “contribute to or otherwise support any political party,” Trump wrote.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The White House has <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/the-npr-pbs-grift-has-ripped-us-off-for-too-long/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed to</a> NPR articles such as one about “genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts,” its initial refusal to report on the laptop computer owned by former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and how its CEO, Katherine Maher, has called Trump a racist.</span>

NPR and several local member stations, including Colorado Public Radio, said in the suit that the order improperly targets them because of the president’s view on their news.

“The Order’s objectives could not be clearer: the Order aims to punish NPR for the content of news and other programming the President dislikes and chill the free exercise of First Amendment rights by NPR and individual public radio stations across the country,” they said.

“The Order is textbook retaliation and viewpoint-based discrimination in violation of the First Amendment, and it interferes with NPR’s and the Local Member Stations’ freedom of expressive association and editorial discretion.”

Maher <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/27/g-s1-69017/npr-and-katherine-maher-ceo-of-npr-statement">said</a> in a statement that “we stand for constitutional rights, a free press, and an informed public, and we file today on their behalf.”

The plaintiffs are asking the court to declare the order and all actions taken to implement it illegal and unconstitutional, along with an order that permanently bars defendants from implementing the order.

Maher and PBC CEO Paula Kerger defended their outlets during a March congressional hearing, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/npr-pbs-chiefs-respond-to-gop-allegations-of-bias-in-house-hearing-5831658">telling</a> lawmakers that they serve audiences across the political spectrum.

“Our stations pool resources to invest in programming that will benefit all Americans, ranging from history and science to art and music,” Kerger said at the time.
