Trump Administration Proposes NDAs for Federal Employees to Address Information Leaks

Trump Administration Proposes NDAs for Federal Employees to Address Information LeaksPreviousNext

The Trump administration has proposed a draft non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for all current and future federal employees to reduce unauthorized leaks of confidential information. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is seeking public comments on the NDA, which aims to protect sensitive data while preserving legally authorized disclosures. The proposal addresses concerns about recent unauthorized disclosures from agencies like the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, including leaks related to immigration enforcement and a U.S. raid in Venezuela. Critics argue the NDA may be redundant or suppress whistleblowers.
