Conservatives Target Federal Partisans Pre-Trump Era

Conservative groups allied with Donald Trump are conducting extensive investigations into federal employees, seeking to identify those perceived as partisan obstacles to Trump's agenda. These efforts, involving thousands of Freedom of Information Act requests, aim to prepare for potential mass firings if Trump returns to the presidency. The Heritage Foundation and other organizations are leading these initiatives, focusing on diversity programs and employees' political affiliations. Federal agencies and unions are concerned about the potential impact on civil servants and are preparing counter-strategies.
