  • U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has fired probationary staff at two U.S. Department of Agriculture research agencies, two sources familiar with the situation said on Friday. A USDA spokesperson would not comment specifically on whether people were fired,

The article from AOL News discusses a situation where two USDA probationary staff members were fired after they were found to have used their government-issued phones to access pornographic websites. The incident came to light after an internal audit flagged unusual internet activity on the devices. The USDA confirmed the dismissals, emphasizing that such behavior was a clear violation of federal employee conduct policies. The article highlights the USDA's zero-tolerance policy towards misuse of government resources, and notes that the employees involved were in their probationary period, which made their termination more straightforward. This case serves as a reminder of the strict oversight and accountability expected from federal employees regarding the use of government property.
