| 0:00.0 | All right, this breaking news, sources tell CNN that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has told people that he's considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and DOJ over the continued fallout from the release or lack thereof of the Jeffrey Epstein memo. |
| 0:18.5 | Well, Alex, we know that the termination notices were supposed to go out |
| 0:21.4 | starting around 10 a.m. and that likely they would roll out for a couple of hours due to how |
| 0:26.7 | slow the internal State Department email system is. So this is a situation where many State |
| 0:31.8 | Department employees yesterday were put on alert. We're told that today they could be getting |
| 0:36.9 | that kind of information. |
| 0:37.9 | So to be prepared for that and to come to work with everything, they might need to return |
| 0:42.3 | before leaving the State Department for the last time today. And we're talking about civil |
| 0:47.4 | servants in addition to foreign service officers, as many as 3,000 cuts expected today. And it's not just all layoffs necessarily. Some |
| 0:57.1 | people were offered the opportunity to take early retirement, for instance. But this is all a part |

| 1:18.0 | This is something that the Supreme Court paved the way for to take place. |
| 1:22.5 | And so the State Department is where we're seeing a very concentrated example of that today. But it's something that we could see at a bunch of different agencies. |
| 1:30.3 | We know, for instance, that at the Education Department and elsewhere, similar blueprints have been drawn up for cutting this many employees. |
| 1:39.1 | And as a result, there is going to be a massive loss, according to those who are familiar with the State Department |
| 1:44.5 | of some experience. But again, this is something that the president himself has wanted to see |
| 1:49.2 | happen. It was obviously something that Elon Musk was in charge of before he left his government |
| 1:53.6 | role. And it's something that there are further court cases in the works on that there could be |
| 1:59.2 | potentially a halt or a freeze to some of this |
| 2:01.8 | action at other agencies or the Supreme Court could allow for it to again take place all over |
