Incoming Trump team is questioning civil servants at National Security Council about their loyalty

^{Published on 2025-01-13 08:40:45 - Yahoo}

Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made social media posts that could be considered incriminating by President-elect Donald Trump's team,

The incoming Trump administration is reportedly questioning the validity of civil service protections, which could lead to significant changes in how federal employees are managed. This scrutiny stems from a desire to ensure that the bureaucracy aligns more closely with the new administration's policies. There are concerns among current federal workers about potential purges or reassignments, especially those perceived as not supportive of Trump's agenda. This approach has raised alarms about the politicization of the civil service, traditionally seen as a non-partisan body meant to serve the government regardless of which party is in power. Critics argue that undermining these protections could weaken the effectiveness and morale of the federal workforce, potentially leading to a brain drain as experienced bureaucrats might seek employment elsewhere.
