The post Trump Administration Reorg Prompts Over 1,300 State Department Layoffs appeared first on TheWrap. Executive privilege normally keeps White House communications secret. But both Trump and Biden waived the privilege during investigations of each other.

The layoffs affect 1,107 civil service employees and 246 foreign service officers based in the United States, according to internal department notices and a senior official.
