Voice of America (VOA) managers met multiple times with Chinese officials seeking to influence more favorable U.S. coverage of their country, part of a larger dynamic that proved to the "detriment of America" and its taxpayer-funded media operation for the world, Trump adviser Kari Lake told Just the News.
