What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

Separately, a Government Accountability Office report found that the federal government paid nearly $10 billion to employees who did not work last year under cuts led by Donald Trump's initiative. Of that amount, $6.7 billion was paid through 'deferred resignation' programs.
