The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted a privacy assessment in an ongoing lawsuit over the Trump administration’s plan to implement a government-wide email system for communication with federal employees.
The Feb. 5 filing was made after a lawsuit in which two anonymous employees alleged that the Trump administration had failed to issue a privacy impact assessment (PIA) purportedly required by federal law. A subsequent motion for a temporary restraining order requested that a federal judge in Washington prevent the OPM from operating computer systems tied to an email address—[email protected]—associated with the administration’s project.
