Hundreds of Trump Appointees Face Loyalty Test

Politico: “In the middle of a devastating pandemic and searing economic crisis, the White House has an urgent question for its colleagues across the administration: Are you loyal enough to President Trump?”

“The White House’s presidential personnel office is conducting one-on-one interviews with health officials and hundreds of other political appointees across federal agencies, an exercise some of the subjects have called ‘loyalty tests’ to root out threats of leaks and other potentially subversive acts just months before the election, according to interviews with 15 current and former senior administration officials.”
