The Trump administration has introduced a controversial new federal buyout program, offering nearly 2 million civilian employees full pay and benefits through September if they voluntarily resign by February 6. Dubbed the “deferred resignation program,” the initiative seeks to reduce government costs and increase in-person attendance, as only 6% of Washington, D.C., employees currently work on-site.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has dismissed claims that the plan is a politically motivated purge, framing it instead as a cost-cutting measure to improve efficiency. Supporters argue the move is essential for streamlining the federal workforce and adapting to modern work demands.
