Judge halts Trump's federal worker buyout plan, extending deadline after union challenges.

Federal Judge George O'Toole Jr. temporarily halted President Trump's plan to offer federal workers a buyout, providing seven months of pay in exchange for resignation. The deadline, originally set for midnight, has been postponed until Monday. Three unions representing 800,000 workers argue that the offer is unlawful and arbitrary, posing risks to the federal government. Over 40,000 workers had already accepted the offer by the time of the court's intervention.
