WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two Democratic senators on Tuesday said they had asked the White House for key details about the Trump administration’s financial incentive offer to about 2 million federal workers to quit their jobs.
Senator Gary Peters, top Democrat on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Richard Blumenthal, lead Democrat on an investigations subcommittee, said the “promises made to federal workers in this program contravene existing law” and “will contribute untold amounts to government waste and inefficiency.”
They want detailed weekly data on how many workers have sought to take part by agency and how agencies will function without those workers.
