The Trump administration is moving to require all current and future federal employees to sign nondisclosure agreements as part of a broader effort to tighten controls on leaks of non-public government information. The move comes as part of a wider push that officials have linked to recent media leaks involving sensitive national security matters, including reporting on U.S. military operations and internal assessments tied to the Iran war and earlier Venezuela-related operations.
A proposed notice posted Tuesday on the Office of Personnel Management website and expected to be published in the Federal Register seeks public comment on a draft NDA that could apply to both new and existing employees across federal agencies.
