Trump Planning Major Staff Cuts To Dozens More Agencies: Report

An internal Trump administration memo reveals an extensive plan to cut government-wide staffing, including slashing the Treasury Department’s workforce by one-third and reducing the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s staff by half.

The memo, drafted a week ago, comes amid upcoming Reductions in Force that are expected to significantly decrease government payro

Cuts at the Education Department—where Secretary Linda McMahon has been instructed to reduce staffing by 50%—are expected to save $6 billion, while an 8 percent reduction at the Justice Department is projected to yield an additional $1.9 billion in savings.

The National Science Foundation, a longtime bipartisan favorite for funding, is slated for a 28 percent cut, and the Commerce Department is facing a 30 percent reduction.

At the Treasury Department, which includes the Internal Revenue Service, cuts are expected to reach 30 percent.

We will never stop working for the American people.”

“This document is a pre-deliberative draft and does not accurately reflect final reduction in force plans. When President Trump’s Cabinet Secretaries are ready to announce reduction in force plans, they will make those announcements to their respective workforces at the appropriate time,” he added.

At the Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced a restructuring that will reduce the workforce by 20,000 employees, cutting 10,000 positions in the process. The agency plans to decrease its staff from
