Trump Targets Leakers with New Non-Disclosure Form

other · 2026-05-26

The Trump administration is moving to punish government workers who leak information to reporters by introducing a new non-disclosure agreement form. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the US government's human resources office, announced it wants to create the form for federal agencies to use with new and existing employees. Each agency would have discretion over whether to use the form, and the OPM has asked for public feedback. If implemented, the form could make it easier for President Donald Trump to penalize employees who leak to the press. This is the latest step in Trump's broader effort to increase control over federal workers and the flow of information to the public.
