Trump is offering a buyout to the entire CIA workforce!
The USAID was just the beginning! First Trump cut off the money supply, now he goes for the nucleus of the cell.
Yes, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has recently offered buyouts to its entire workforce. This initiative is part of President Donald Trump’s broader strategy to downsize federal agencies and realign them with his administration’s priorities, which include targeting drug cartels and countering China’s influence. The buyout package provides CIA employees with approximately eight months of pay and benefits in exchange for their resignation. Additionally, the agency has frozen the hiring of applicants who have already received conditional offers; these offers may be rescinded if the candidates do not possess the appropriate background for the agency’s new objectives. 
This move aligns with similar buyout offers extended to over 2 million civilian federal employees last month, though workers in national security roles had previously been exempted. The CIA’s decision to implement these buyouts represents a significant shift aimed at realigning the agency with current administration priorities. 
However, this initiative has raised legal and ethical concerns. Some Democratic lawmakers and unions representing U.S. government employees have questioned the legality of the buyout offers and have filed lawsuits to block the Trump administration’s plan. Critics argue that such offers may violate federal laws governing employee rights and the proper use of government funds. 
CIA Director John Ratcliffe has stated that this effort is intended to “infuse the agency with renewed energy” and to create a more aggressive CIA focusing on espionage operations that support the administration’s objectives. The agency plans to place greater emphasis on operations in the Western Hemisphere, including espionage activities to support trade negotiations and combat Mexican drug cartels. 
The CIA is about to get purged!
