A proposed rule could potentially put all current federal employees on the chopping block

It's no secret that the Trump administration wants to have more control of who federal agencies hire and fire. A new proposed rule from the Office of Personnel Management would provide it a new tool to do so, allowing it to examine the suitability and fitness of an employee any time, not just during the hiring process, as it is currently used. As you can imagine, there are some against the idea. One of them is Joe Spielberger, policy counsel for the Project on Government Oversight. He recently spoke to Federal News Network's Eric White to lay out the organization's argument against the proposal.
