President Trump's Government Downsizing Plans

President Trump's plans to downsize the government have led to roughly 75,000 federal employees accepting a deferred resignation program. A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration's plan amid challenges from labor union groups, but later ruled in favor of the White House. The buyout program is part of several initiatives to cut down the federal workforce.
