Trump e Musk reduzem a alegada burocracia federal
February 12, 2025 -
O Presidente Trump e o seu aliado Elon Musk estão a eliminar
sistematicamente pessoal em várias agências dos EUA, incluindo as que os têm investigado pessoalmente e os seus interesses empresariais.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, are systematically gutting federal agencies in a bid to reduce bureaucracy – often defying legal limits in the process.
Among Trump’s targets are January 6 Capitol Riot investigators and those sanctioned to investigate him.
Similarly, Musk is laying waste to agencies that had been investigating his own companies, such as SpaceX.
To date, Trump and Musk have sacked at least 33 workers from the Justice Department and FBI alone, with thousands of other jobs eradicated or in jeopardy.
Judges have temporarily halted some of the administration’s efforts, but many more staff reductions are expected across government departments in the months ahead.
DOGE, formed by one of President Trumps numerous executive orders, has a mandate to operate until July 4, 2026.
