Former US President Donald Trump called for an end to federal funding for NPR and PBS, criticizing the outlets for bias and wasteful spending. Trump's comments came during a cabinet meeting and follow ongoing Republican efforts to defund the public broadcasters, who receive some federal money but also rely on private donations. The CEOs of NPR and PBS are scheduled to defend their funding before a congressional subcommittee.
