Donald Trump's administration is moving forward with a proposal that would require all federal employees to sign non-disclosure agreements, in a sweeping attempt to tighten control over government information. The draft policy would apply to both new and existing staff across federal agencies and could extend to former employees, raising concerns among press freedom groups that it may function as a broad restriction on speaking to journalists.
The measure comes amid ongoing tensions over leaks of internal communications and sensitive government operations, and is now set to undergo a 30-day public comment period before any final decision is made.
