Aug. 30 (UPI) -- The remaining 532 employees at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which is the parent agency of the Voice of America, have received termination notices.
Kari Lake sent the pink slips to the respective workers on Friday evening, according to The Washington Post.
"Tonight, the U.S. Agency for Global Media initiated what is known as a reduction in force, or RIF, of a large number of its full-time federal employees," Lake said in the termination notice.
"We are conducting this RIF at the President's direction to help reduce the federal bureaucracy, improve agency service and save the American people more of their hard-earned money."
Lake is the Trump administration's official in charge of overseeing the eventual end of Voice of America.
