Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: The Trump administration this week is making the case for the reorganization of the Office of Personnel Management. As Federal News Network has reported, the upcoming transfer of the security clearance business from the National Background Investigations Bureau to the Defense Department pulls the revenue rug from under OPM. Acting Director Margaret Weichert made the case for the rest of OPM's reorganization yesterday to a group of reporters. She said merging what's left of OPM with the General Services Administration would generate savings up to $37 million a year. Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to wade through the details.
