Judge clears way for Trump’s plan to downsize federal workforce with deferred resignation programme

The Hindu  

A federal judge on Wednesday removed a key legal hurdle stalling President Donald Trump’s plan to downsize the federal workforce with a deferred resignation program. “This goes to show that lawfare will not ultimately prevail over the will of 77 million Americans who supported President Trump and his priorities,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. She said it "provides generous benefits so federal workers can plan for their futures.” American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley said in a statement that the union's lawyers are assessing the next steps. The deferred resignation program has been spearheaded by Elon Musk, who is serving as Trump’s top adviser for reducing federal spending.
