The CIA offered a buyout to all its employees.
On Tuesday, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) offered a buyout to all its employees, an action that, according to the Wall Street Journal, makes it the first intelligence agency to join the voluntary federal workforce reduction program implemented by Donald Trump.
Two informed sources also told Reuters that the CIA, in line with the new management’s decisions to align the agency with the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, offered a buyout to all its employees on Tuesday, February 6th.
This new action regarding the CIA is part of the broader changes Donald Trump is pursuing in the U.S. government. He has promised to significantly reduce the federal workforce and rebuild it for efficiency and cost-saving, a topic that has sparked widespread reactions in Washington.
In the same vein, last week, the Trump administration offered two million permanent federal government employees the option to resign in exchange for receiving their salaries until the end of September.
