The intelligence services of Russia, China, and other foreign adversaries are attempting to recruit U.S. federal workers who lost their jobs in the DOGE-directed massive layoffs, according to a report.
The countries appear to be attempting to take advantage of President Donald Trump’s plans to downsize the federal government, sources familiar with American intelligence on the matter told CNN.
The countries are targeting terminated employees with security clearances and probationary employees who could soon be terminated, “who may have valuable information about U.S. critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy,” the outlet reported.
At least two countries, which were not identified, have reportedly started setting up recruitment websites and are "aggressively targeting” these workers via LinkedIn.
