Here’s one last shout-out to a Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher team led by partners Miguel Estrada, Ted Boutrous and Katie Townsend, who have been representing National Public Radio and certain member stations in a challenge to an executive order aimed at cutting the plaintiffs’ federal funding because of news coverage and programming the Trump Administration has claimed is biased. The team this week reached a settlement with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, one of the defendants in the suit, which will provide $35.96 million in grant funding to the plaintiffs for public radio infrastructure—the full amount CPB previously agreed to. CPB also agreed not to enforce the challenged executive order unless required by a court. The Gibson Dunn team includes partner Michael Dore, counsel Sophia Brill and associates Eric Brooks, Connor Mui, Ellie Schwietering and Tate Rosenblatt.
