Washington, February 6 (RHC)-- The CIA has sent the White House an unclassified e-mail with the first names and last name initials of employees hired in the past two years, in response to an order by the Trump administration as it moves to drastically whittle down the federal workforce. 

Former CIA officials called the move a “counterintelligence disaster,” warning the employees could easily be identified.

Meanwhile, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove — Trump’s lawyer in his New York criminal election interference case — accused FBI leadership of “insubordination” after it refused to identify a “core team” of agents involved in the January 6th Capitol insurrection investigations. 

The Justice Department is seeking data on over 5,000 FBI employees involved in those investigations.
