- White House proposes NDAs for federal workers to suppress leaks to journalists — The Office of Personnel Management released a draft nondisclosure agreement for federal agencies to impose on new and existing employees, designed to prevent them from sharing information with journalists. The agreement would allow the administration to pursue civil and criminal penalties against violators and claim "royalties" from any disclosures. Former employees would need written permission from agency officials to speak to journalists about information deemed "confidential." The move is part of a broader Trump administration campaign to control information flow and suppress dissent within the federal workforce.
