Trump’s new plan to quash leaks
The Trump administration is proposing that federal employees sign new non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to prevent leaks. This initiative aims to deter disclosures of sensitive information, which the administration has criticized in the past. The plan is currently in draft form and will undergo a public comment period before potential implementation.
- ▪The proposed NDAs would require federal employees to acknowledge their legal obligations to protect confidential information.
- ▪This move is part of the Trump administration's broader effort to reduce leaks and increase control over information.
- ▪Previous NDAs were implemented on a smaller scale within the Defense Department and other agencies.
