Trump eyes sweeping government-wide NDAs to curb leaks

The Office of Personnel Management posted a draft NDA that agencies could opt into requiring federal employees—current and former—to obtain written permission before speaking about information the administration designates as confidential; breaches could incur penalties, including royalties. The move, part of a broader effort to crack down on leaks to the press, follows Trump administration actions like lawsuits against news outlets and Pentagon press restrictions.
