Trump admin federal job cuts likely to be ‘north of 10,000,’ Vought says

The Trump administration warned it could cut more than 10,000 federal jobs during the ongoing government shutdown, according to White House budget director Russell Vought.

Vought highlighted potential targets for layoffs, including Green New Deal programs at the Department of Energy, environmental justice efforts at the EPA, the Commerce Department’s Minority Business Development Agency, CISA, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Earlier, the White House had sent layoff notices to roughly 4,200 federal employees, with the number expected to rise as the shutdown continues.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from firing workers, citing legal concerns raised by unions representing federal employees, CNBC has reported.

Meanwhile, President Trump issued a memorandum directing remaining congressional funds to ensure active-duty military personnel continue to be paid during the shutdown.
