President Trump now says he wants his administration to “be very precise” about which federal workers will stay or go. After weeks of criticism about the way tens of thousands of federal workers have been fired, the president has instructed department secretaries to work with Elon Musk’s government efficiency office to be strategic about who stays on the job.The president suggested that Cabinet and agency leaders would take the lead in personnel decisions. And he wrote on social media that his administration should use a “scalpel rather than a “hatchet.”
