CIA Begins Firing New Recruits Amid Trump’s Government Layoff Plan
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has started to terminate some of its probationary employees as part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to reduce government workforce. This move aligns with former President Donald Trump's strategy to streamline federal agencies, which he announced during his campaign for a second term.
According to reports from The New York Times and The Associated Press, the layoffs primarily target new recruits who are still within their probationary period. This action is part of a larger plan that also affects other federal departments. The decision has sparked a mix of reactions, with some praising the effort to reduce government expenditure, while others criticize the potential impact on national security and employee morale.
John Ratcliffe, Trump's former Director of National Intelligence, has been mentioned in connection with these layoffs, suggesting a continuation of policies aimed at reshaping the intelligence community. Critics argue that such moves could undermine the CIA's ability to gather and analyze critical intelligence at a time when global threats are on the rise.
