Spy Agency Overwhelmed By Unprecedented Number Of Retirements
A historic wave of departures at the CIA, combined with deep cutbacks at the Office of Personnel Management, has left the spy agency’s retirement system overwhelmed. Former spies are facing months-long waits to receive their first pension check, according to former intelligence officials and internal agency messages. The Trump administration’s efforts to shrink the workforce may be contributing to the exodus, which could have significant implications for the agency’s operations. This development was reported by an unknown source.
