President Donald Trump has had his plan to buyout Federal workers put on the backfoot, after a federal judge extended the restraining order issued last week.
According to Fox News, Judge George O’Toole extended the restraining order and said he has taken the matter under advisement, but did not give any indication when a decision would be made.
The move comes after Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, had indicated they would be cutting back on federal spending, and by extension, Federal workers. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had sent more than 2 million emails to federal employees, notifying them of the buyout plans to leave their jobs.
