Congress expects Trump request to cut approved funding

Season 2025 Episode 153 | 5m 49s

As lawmakers return to Washington, they expect a rescission request from the White House to cut funding already passed by Congress. Among other cuts, President Trump’s request is expected to include the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the nonprofit through which NPR and PBS get federal funding. Lisa Desjardins reports on what this could look like and what is ahead.

Major corporate funding for the PBS NewsHour is provided by Care.com, Consumer Cellular, and Fidelity. Funding for the PBS NewsHour Weekend is provided by Mutual of America. For a complete list of funders for the PBS NewsHour and PBS NewsHour weekend, click here.
