A federal investigation found the Trump appointed, former U.S. Agency for Global Media CEO Michael Pack “repeatedly abused the powers of his office, broke laws and regulations, and engaged in gross mismanagement.”

Pack's brief tenure was depicted “as an ideologically driven rampage through a government agency to try to force its newsrooms and workforce to show fealty to the White House.

“Pack punished executives who objected to the legality of his plans, interfered in the journalistic independence of the newsrooms under his agency, and personally signed a no-bid contract with a private law firm to investigate those employees he saw as opposed to former President Donald Trump.”
