White House proposes NDAs for all US federal workers

The Trump administration has proposed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) for all U.S. federal workers, threatening legal action against those who leak information, in a bid to control the flow of information to journalists. This move follows a chaotic incident during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where a shooting raised security concerns and highlighted the administration's ongoing tensions with the press.

Implementing NDAs could significantly impact the transparency and accountability of federal employees, as it may deter whistleblowing and limit the media's ability to report on government actions. This development reflects a broader trend of increasing restrictions on press freedom and government transparency under the Trump administration.

The proposal comes amid a backdrop of heightened scrutiny of the administration's relationship with the media, particularly following violent incidents at public events and ongoing legal battles over press access, raising questions about the balance between national security and the public's right to know.
