This year, the Trump administration shuttered offices, fired tens of thousands of people, and paid far more to quit.
President Trump says he's ridding the country of waste, fraud, and abuse.
But Max Steyer, president of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, says Trump is turning the government into one that serves the private interests of those in power, not the public good.
In a statement, the White House told NPR Trump's only motivation is, quote, improving the lives of the American people and making the country greater than ever before.
NPR reported on Saturday that more than a dozen files released by the Justice Department a day earlier had been taken down from the Epstein Files website.
They included an image that showed a desk covered with photos, including at least one of President Trump.
That led to questions about why the photos had been removed.
On Sunday morning, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch told NBC's Meet the Press that the images were pulled down because a judge had told them to listen to concerns from victims and victim rights groups.
Later, the Justice Department posted on X that it had reviewed the photo of the desk and found no evidence that any Epstein victims were depicted.
It has been reposted without any alteration or redaction, the Post said.
