YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

More than two million civilian federal workers across the country are facing a deadline. They can either accept an offer from the Trump administration to resign and keep pay and benefits through September, or they can pass on the offer and take a gamble that they may be laid off soon. Lisa Desjardins reports on the latest and discusses the legality of the offer with attorney Michelle Bercovici.
