New Trump 'sabotage' rule will make it 'much easier' to fire workers for political beliefs

The Trump administration is clearing the way to discipline or fire senior career officials across government, according to a new report.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management plans to issue a rule Thursday that creates a new category for high-ranking career employees tasked with executing administration policies, which the Wall Street Journal reported would remove their ability to appeal firings or disciplinary action to prevent them from standing in the way of President Donald Trump's policies.
