The Trump administration revives an old intimidation tactic: the polygraph machine | CNN Politics

//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. n-tactic-the-polygraph-machine-cnn-politics.html

Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, June 5th 2025 at 5:00 GMT by CNN
^{🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source}

When President Ronald Reagan's White House threatened thousands of government officials with polygraph exams, supposedly to protect classified data (but probably also to control press leaks), his Secretary of State George Shultz threatened to resign.

The article from CNN dated June 5, 2025, discusses the Trump administration's consideration of reinstating polygraph tests for White House staff, a practice that was previously used during the administration of former President George H.W. Bush. The proposal comes amidst heightened concerns over national security and leaks within the government. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who has been mentioned as a potential running mate for Donald Trump in the upcoming election, has a history with polygraph tests, having undergone them during her tenure as a state official. The article highlights the controversy surrounding the reliability and invasiveness of polygraph tests, with critics arguing that they are not foolproof and can be stressful for employees. Proponents, however, believe that reinstating these tests could help in maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive information within the White House.
