to cnn news central. >> right now. >> federal workers. >> across the country and around the world are bracing for impact, as president trump and elon musk's mandate to dismantle and reshape the federal government rapidly expands. we have learned that the cia is offering its entire workforce. >> a buyout. similar to what other. >> federal workers. >> were told last week. it's notable. >> because the national security sector had been considered exempt from the buyout. in the meantime, usaid employees in limbo as trump and musk dramatically overhaul the international humanitarian agency. most employees will be put on leave starting friday, and those who are overseas have been ordered to return to the u.s. all of this while sources inside the trump administration warn cnn that widespread layoffs are coming soon, and that those who didn't take the buyout

offer are at risk of losing their jobs. we're covering all of the angles, so let's start now with cnn's katie lillis on the entire cia workforce receiving these buyout offers. katie, what can you tell us? >> brianna. >> we know that this. >> was. >> a decision that cia director john ratcliffe made personally telling the white. >> house that he believed that the agency should. >> be included in the so-called deferred resignation program. but this is still a much less sweeping offer than has been. >> offered to federal employees. in other civilian government agencies. >> there are, even. as the offer has gone out to the entire workforce at the cia, not everyone is expected to be allowed to take it. our sources tell us that there are believed to be some restrictions on which. >> employees. >> based on their expertise, or based on what particular career path they're in, are actually going to be able to exercise this buyout if they. >> should choose. >> this does. >> appear to. >> be a recognition of the fact that there are certainly some roles that are considered too important to national security to be allowed to resign, even as.

>> the broader. >> mandate to. >> shrink the federal. >> government is a key priority for the trump administration and for elon musk. but this is, of course, still an effort to really reshape the cia. and there are two big things going on here. one, of course, is that trump and his allies have seen the intelligence community and the cia as part of a deep state. the other is that there is a broad sense that ratcliffe and his allies do want to try to shift the agency towards covert action, intelligence gathering and away from analysis. brianna. all right. katie bow and alex marquardt, i know you have some news about the usaid, which is feeling earthquakes now all the way overseas to where so many of its employees are stationed. >> yeah, brianna, it, too is being dismantled, one step at a time. for the past few days, we have heard this steady drumbeat of people being frozen out of their accounts. hundreds and hundreds of contractors, the top level career official officials being put on leave. and now we have this, this agency wide, broad mandate directive by the

top of usaid that everybody, all the direct hires. so these are the direct u.s. government employees are being put on administrative leave, which means they will go home. they will keep their pay. but keep in mind, brianna, of course, there are thousands of these direct hires, and most of them are around the world. so those agency staffers will have to pack up and get home. they say within the next 30 days, many of them are working in far reaching, dangerous and desperate places. many of them are overseas with their families. their kids are in schools, and they're being told to come home. they'll have to find places to live. they may eventually have to find jobs. they may have to find schools for their children. so this entire agency is being upended. we are hearing more and more about the agency contractors, and they make up a huge portion of the usaid workforce being furloughed, being fired, being cut out of of their communications. so even after we talk about the ramifications of

the staffing and people potentially losing their jobs, being put on leave, then you have all of these foreign aid programs that are grinding to a halt, and we're already hearing warnings that people are being severely harmed around the world. >> brianna and katelyn polantz, we've been seeing this list growing of agencies and departments whose i.t. systems. elon musk's doge team has gained access to gsa, opm, treasury. you can now add noah to that list. well, brianna, it is something that. >> is causing a wave of lawsuits. >> and we're going to be hearing. >> more. >> about exactly what is being accessed by elon musk, the people he's working with at doge, the. department of government efficiency, and then very likely. >> at the office of. >> personnel management. we're going to be hearing about that in court because things are moving fast. there already are at least three lawsuits against musk. a wave of them against musk and doge on not being transparent enough with whatever they are doing as an. advisory

committee to the federal government. and then there's another set of lawsuits that we're hearing we're going to be having hearings on this afternoon and tomorrow, emergency hearings in federal court about musk and his team potentially getting access to vast amounts of sensitive information, private information of federal government employees, and then also potentially of people across the nation, the american public, their social security numbers, taxpayer information, things like that. so these lawsuits are in court right now. there's just not a lot of insight yet. and we haven't heard fully from the administration on what they're doing, what musk is up to. here's karoline leavitt just recently on what musk is as an employee of the federal government. she's the press secretary at the white house. >> i can confirm he's a special government employee. i can also confirm that he has abided by all applicable federal laws. as for his security clearance, i'm

not sure, but i can check back with you. does he. did he pass a background check? do you know? i don't know about the security clearance, but i can check. >> top secret security clearance. >> she got. that through. >> a source. and then we know from the executive order establishing doge. they have a lot of access to unclassified records, software and i.t. systems across the federal government. brianna. all right. caitlin. alex. katie bow, thank you to all of you for your reporting for us today. >> marks attorney general pam bondi first day on the job at the department. >> of justice. >> and she's already expected to take a series of actions designed to investigate and undo legal moves taken by the biden administration. bondi, a staunch trump ally who was just sworn in this morning, has vowed to protect the department from being used as a political weapon. but her arrival comes amid severe turmoil and uncertainty from within. yesterday, employment details for more than 5000 fbi officials who worked on january 6th, investigations were turned over

to the doj. and just last week, the doj fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on cases related to the insurrection. and president trump. those officials received letters of termination like this one, reading in part, quote, this decision is based upon your actions in the prosecution of persons relating to events that occurred at or near the united states capitol on january 6th, 2021. joining us now is jake strubing. he's one of several federal prosecutors who received that letter and was fired last friday. jake, thanks so much for being with us. the termination letter you received says that you were fired based on your actions prosecuting people related to january 6th. trump characterized those prosecutions as a grave national injustice. i wonder what your response is. >> thank you boris. >> thank you for having me. >> my response is that january. >> 6th. >> 2021 was a. >> grave national injustice.

i've spent. >> the. last year. >> and a. half prosecuting felony and misdemeanor. >> defendants for. >> their roles. >> in the riot at the. united states capitol on january. >> 6th. >> and those. >> prosecutions have been upheld by countless juries and. >> the district. >> of columbia. >> by grand. >> juries, by basically. >> every judge. >> on. >> the federal district court. >> here in dc, and. >> by several judges on. >> the federal appellate court. >> so essentially, you see this as an affront to the system of justice in the united states. is that fair to say? >> i think. >> that's. >> fair to say. and i'm deeply concerned about the independence of. >> the department of justice and. >> the fbi going forward. i think we could see. >> the potential for the prosecution. >> of. perceived political enemies. >> and that, quite. >> frankly. >> doesn't make. >> us any safer. >> and it does not protect us from the real criminals. and i really feel for the fbi. >> agents.

>> hundreds. >> if not thousands who are on the chopping block at this point in time. and i think it's important for your viewers to know that those fbi agents are not january 6th agents. those are agents who work on terrorism cases. they work on violent crimes. they work on child exploitation matters, firing. them would make us. less safe. and quite frankly, they may be working on a bunch of meritorious cases right now. and who's going to bring those cases and do justice in those e cases? so that's that's what i'm concerned about. and concerned about. quite frankly, what we're seeing is, is anti-law enforcement anti-police. >> to that point, the termination letter that you got essentially says that you are hindering efforts to fully implement the agenda that donald trump was elected to execute. what do you think that implies about who ultimately may replace you or your colleagues? >> boris, that's a good question. and quite frankly, i don't know the answer to it. i will say, speaking on my behalf,

i was more than willing when the pardons came down. and essentially the january 6th cases ended. i was more than willing to continue to serve in the u.s. attorney's office despite kind of the chaos and hysteria that's going through the federal government right now. i was willing to prosecute local violent crimes in d.c. and keep doing that. i think that's a great mission. but i'm concerned that with these firings of 12 prosecutors, including myself, who would have been doing local violent crimes in d.c., that even the d.c. community now is less safe. >> are you concerned about your own safety, given the nature of some of the crimes that you've prosecuted? >> it's a difficult question. i think the answer to that is yes and no. but as i've i think i've mentioned this before, but, you know, at the end of the day, i have to remember that we all swore an oath to the constitution to enforce the laws of the united states and to follow the evidence without fear or favor. and i fulfill that

oath, and i have no hesitation about that. >> i know that several fbi agents are filing this class action lawsuit against doj over their firings. you've previously said that you are considering your options. i just wonder what goes into your decision making process. what what factors you're weighing right now. >> that's a good question, boris. i don't want to comment on any pending litigation or potential litigation, but i will say that i am just considering all of my options and thinking about my next steps for my career. >> given that today is a.g. bondi's first day, she's expected to announce this review into more than 1500 january 6th related cases. what do you think might come of that review? >> i don't know what will come of that review, but i will say

that review will show that we did justice and we did right. we followed the evidence. we followed the law in each of those cases. and as i mentioned previously, those prosecutions were upheld by countless federal judges. and i do think it's a bit of a double edged sword for this administration to keep attacking january 6th, because, well, quite frankly, it may not end well for them because of the strength of the evidence and the strength of these cases. and as i used to tell d.c. juries, you don't have to take my word for it. you can look at the video because this is the single most recorded crime in the history of this country. >> yeah, that is a strong point. i do wonder regarding bondi, is there anything you think that she could say or do that would reassure folks inside doj who are watching all of this and are nervous, not only for their own positions within the agency, but for what you alluded to, the the

integrity of the department of justice. >> that's a good question, boris. i think anything that she could do to affirm the independence of the department of justice and to reassure prosecutors and fbi agents that they're going to follow the evidence above all else, i think that would be the most important thing at this point in time. >> jake strubing, we have to leave the conversation there. we look forward to picking it up. if you do decide to move forward with some kind of litigation, we'd love to hear what comes next. >> thank you boris, thank you for having me. >> thanks so much. still ahead this hour. worldwide backlash after president trump says the united states is going to take over gaza and turn it into the, quote, riviera of the middle east. plus, multiple men have been arrested for posing as ice officers. and the ntsb reveals new details in last week's deadly midair collision. and it's raising a lot more questions. stay with cnn news

there, the world's people. i think you'll make that into an international unbelievable place. i think the potential in the gaza strip is unbelievable. we have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal, and i don't want to be cute. i don't want to be a wise guy. but the riviera of the middle east, this could be something that could be so bad. this could be so magnificent. >> this is a proposal that would upend decades of u.s. policy in the middle east, and further complicate israel's delicate ceasefire with hamas. cnn's alayna treene is live for us at the white house, where the press briefing is underway. eleanor, how is washington reacting to this? >> well, we're hearing a lot of different reaction. boris, including some skepticism that we are hearing from many republicans, even republicans, who have worked closely with the president and the president's team on this. that includes senator lindsey graham, who said he's not so sure this would go

over well with people in his home state of south carolina. but i do think your point as well, just i mean, listening to the president say this on stage, publicly standing beside prime minister benjamin netanyahu yesterday was remarkable. and you're exactly right. this is in opposition to what we've heard. u.s. presidents say for decades, pushing for a two state solution. this is, of course, very different from that. i think one of the key questions, though, of course, is what exactly this could mean in practice. and if there are any details that are being worked out behind the scenes. now, i can tell you from my conversations with a top white house official that some people were very caught off guard by this when the president got up there and said this. others, though, however, did know that this was potentially coming. that includes steve witkoff, his middle east envoy, as well as national security advisor mike waltz. i'm told that he actually spoke about this. both of them spoke about this with netanyahu when they met with him on monday at blair house. so this wasn't exactly something

that came out of nowhere. the president was planning on saying this. but again, a lot of people, including people within his own administration, were not fully anticipating this, while others who have been involved in these conversations were. now, we did hear as well. some support of messages in the aftermath of this from people, top people in his cabinet, people like secretary of state marco rubio. i want to read for you what he posted. it was also quite striking. he wrote, um, quote he said, um, excuse me. oh, here we go. gaza must be free from hamas. as potus shared today, the united states stands ready to lead and make gaza beautiful again. our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people. now, one thing as well, boris, that i'm picking up on in my conversations is how serious the president is about this. i'm told that he was really moved by a briefing that he received after steve witkoff had returned

from the area and described the devastation on the ground there. it's something that really, one white house official told me was kind of the catalyst for him thinking about all of this. so i think as we look forward, though, is the key question is really what comes next? we do know that the king of jordan is coming to the white house next week. the president said again yesterday that he hopes egypt and jordan will accept some of the displaced gazans. if this ends up going the way that he plans. and so this will, of course, be central to that conversation. >> boris alayna treene live for us at the white house. thank you so much. this issue was just addressed at the white house press briefing moments ago. here's karoline leavitt from the podium. explain this. reversal and how building and owning gaza squares with america first foreign policy. >> i would reject the premise of your question that this forces the united states to be entangled in conflicts abroad. the president has not committed to putting boots on the ground in gaza. he has also said that the united states is not going

to pay for the rebuilding of gaza. his administration is going to work with our partners in the region to reconstruct this region. and let me just take a step back here, because this is an out of the box idea. that's who president trump is. that's why the american people elected him. and his goal is lasting peace in the middle east for all people in the region. and as i said in my opening remarks, we've had the same people pushing the same solutions to this problem for decades, and it's been very made very clear to the president that the united states needs to be involved in this rebuilding effort to ensure stability in the region for all people. but that does not mean boots on the ground in gaza. it does not mean american taxpayers will be funding this effort. it means donald trump, who is the best deal maker on the planet, is going to strike a deal with our partners in the region. >> because he did. not there. the press secretary is essentially saying that this is an out of the box idea meant to

counter what she's described as decades of failed policy on behalf of the united states. she stressed that donald trump had not committed to putting boots on the ground, though he's also not struck it from potential options for the united states to take over gaza, as he said. she stressed that the u.s. taxpayers would also not fund this effort to rebuild gaza, that trump would somehow strike a deal with nations in the region, jordan and egypt, for example, who've already said that they would not take on more palestinian refugees. tough to square exactly how this would work out for president trump, brianna. >> yeah, certainly. boris. let's talk more now with james zogby. he's the president of the arab american institute. james, your reaction to trump's comments and his press secretary's description of them being an out of the box kind of idea of how to deal with the situation in gaza? >> well, it certainly is out of the box, and somebody ought to put it back in the box. it's

delusional. it's also dangerous, and it is disgustingly insensitive to palestinian humanity. but here's the point. i don't think it's worth time spending the energy talking about what is an idea that donald trump never intended to fulfill. for all the reasons we've we've talked about, the only way you're going to get palestinians out of there is boots on the ground to force them out. the scenes of evicting 2 million people will be nightmarish. and and egypt and jordan are not going to accept them, and saudi arabia is not going to pay for it. so what's he doing? he's creating a distraction to demoralize. disorient, just like the executive orders here at home. he wants us to be talking about this instead of talking about what we really ought to be talking about, which is enforcing phase one of the cease fire. getting to phase two, getting israel to withdraw and beginning the rebuilding process. that's what we're not talking about. instead, we're

talking about this delusional scheme that he never intended to to make real anyway. >> so talk about the cease fire deal and how discussion of this idea that is being rejected out of hand by practically everyone who would need to accept it for it to work? how do you think it's going to impact the cease fire deal? >> well, i think the hope is on the part of the israelis is that palestinians will reject it, as they will jordanians and egyptians will reject it as they will, and israel will decide, well, we can't go to phase two because they're rejecting the peace offer. and so they're going to go in and do what netanyahu said he was going to do at the end of phase one, which is finish the job, quote unquote. that's what he's promised to his coalition partners when they both threatened to bolt the government and bring him down, which would mean he actually could go to jail. um, what it means is that he will say to

them, i'm going to do what i promised you i'd do at the end of phase one. i'm going to finish the job. and and i have to do it because they're not accepting it. so the blame will be put on palestinians, the egyptians, arabs generally, and netanyahu will feel the coast is clear to do it. and whether that was donald trump's intent or not, i don't know, but certainly he is not intending to build a resort, an international center for whatever he is describing it as. this is a shell game. he's setting up a distraction. we're looking here. meanwhile, the business is going on over there. >> you know that trump visited arab american strongholds in michigan during his campaign. i wonder, have you heard from arab american voters who either switched to trump or so many of them who stayed home and decided that they couldn't? we heard from so many who said they couldn't in good conscience, vote for the democratic ticket.

have you heard from them? what are they thinking about what he's saying and doing? >> i have i certainly have. and look, um, it was very difficult for them to make the decision to vote at all. um, they had been witnessing a democratic administration that literally enabled the genocide. it is inconceivable what's happening. we just when donald trump says it's rubble, they're it's rubble. there it is. rubble by design. israel deliberately demolished entire communities so that palestinians would not be able to go back. based on that, many people in my community couldn't vote for for for kamala harris, i did, i endorsed her, i encouraged people to vote for her. i encouraged people to think of the consequences of another donald trump administration. many of them didn't. many of them stayed home, and some of them voted for donald trump. but they are now feeling very clearly that they made a big mistake. and, you know, sort of like the the kid who gets in trouble and his parents send him to his room and

he goes out there and starts throwing stuff around at the end of throwing stuff around in a peak of anger. all he's got is a mess. and that's what we've got here. people didn't vote for kamala harris. they voted for donald trump. they had their tantrum. and now look what we got. we got a crazy man in the white house who's doing and projecting things that are really, really problematic. >> james zogby, thank you so much for being with us. we do appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up, officials in three states are accusing multiple suspects of impersonating federal immigration officers. what we're learning about their arrest just ahead. >> the boeing. 747 has crashed in the. >> lockerbie area. >> trying to find out the why. >> of it became everything. >> nothing is what. >> it seems in the lockerbie story. lockerbie, the bombing of pan am flight 103, february 16th on cnn. >> i don't play. >> for money.

>> worried that more incidents. >> like this. >> are going to. continue to happen. >> because people. >> may feel emboldened. >> to do certain things. >> that they are clearly. >> not allowed to do, like we saw in this incident. so we have this in south carolina, which is where it took place. then we have another incident in north carolina. a man was arrested after he sexually assaulted a woman after telling her that he was going to deport her if he did not, if she did not agree to have sex with him. and then in another case in philadelphia, two men attempted to gain access to a residence hall on the campus of temple university. one of them has been arrested. but as i said, many of the advocates i've been speaking to say that this community, already scared of actual law enforcement. now, also, this a concern that might make them afraid to actually reach out to law enforcement. >> and gloria, has i.c.e. responded to these incidents? >> so, boris, that's really important because we see just

how much i.c.e. activity has been happening around the country. they are doing these enforcement actions, and we actually did just get a statement from i.c.e., who told me that u.s. immigration and customs enforcement officers and agents are highly trained and dedicated professionals who are sworn to uphold the law, protect american people, and support u.s. national security interests. i.c.e. strongly condemns the impersonation of its officers or agents. this action is not only dangerous, but illegal. boris, i should also mention that the man who we saw in that video, where he is taunting the workers, has been charged with three counts of kidnaping as well as impersonating an officer. so some real consequences of the actions. advocates reminding people that they have rights in these types of incidents. people are allowed to record the interaction. people are allowed to ask an officer to identify themselves. and as we have said, they are also allowed to see a

warrant in the case of an arrest. of course, assuming that the person who is stopping them is actually the person who they say they are not like in this instance where this man was impersonating an officer. boris. >> gloria pazmino, thank you so much for the reporting. up next, the ntsb releasing new details about last week's deadly mid-air collision. and it's raising questions about the data that air traffic controllers were actually seeing at the time of the crash. we'll be right back. it's the news. >> welcome back. >> but it's also kind of not the news. >> we don't fact check it. we don't care, man. >> once all the. >> information on this show. >> so terrible. >> have i got news for you returns february 15th on cnn. >> i have another pancake. >> from full. >> house to empty nest to free birds.

data from ground based radar suggests the army helicopter was higher than it was supposed to be when it collided with the american airlines passenger plane. but the ntsb does want more proof. cnn's pete muntean is live for us at reagan national airport. pete, what more are you learning from the ntsb? >> the ntsb says. >> brianna, no smoking gun. just yet with that new data. no way to. >> say for sure if there. >> is any sort of big conclusion to draw here so far just yet. but the. >> latest information. >> from the ntsb is. >> this radar. >> data that shows that that black hawk helicopter, at. >> least according to radar. >> screens here in the control tower. was being displayed. at 300ft. the altitude restriction on the special helicopter corridor that goes through the airspace here at reagan national airport is limited to 200ft. so again, one big piece of data. >> as more and more. >> pieces of data essentially are being pulled off of the bottom of the potomac river right now. in fact. >> the recovery. >> operation has really shifted

them. the human toll here is really incredible, and the ntsb says they have 100 investigators here on site. their work is really only just beginning. you have to think of the divers. you have to think of the salvage crews. and one little bright spot discovered here are the therapy dogs for mutts on a mission that have been visiting the first responders. and all of the folks here helping out with this recovery effort. >> this is ghost. >> and hudson. they've been visiting every day here at national airport, and i've been talking to some of the workers here who are on the periphery of the recovery effort. they say their presence is so appreciated on this one week mark, since that crash last wednesday night at 8:50 p.m., in just a little bit of time, 3 p.m. eastern time, there will be a company wide moment of silence by american airlines. a real heartfelt moment on the horizon here as we hit the one week mark. brianna. all right. we'll look to that. and, pete, thank you for sharing those dogs with us. i think a moment like that

is so important for the folks who are working so hard and tirelessly on this ahead. a huge laser facility in china could be trying to help china realize the dream of limitless clean energy. it could also be a key part of a nuclear weapons research program. we'll have the latest on what these images from space can tell us. >> khuza'a. >> this isn't. >> the way home. >> that's right. james. it isn't. >> where are. >> we going? >> we're here the future. >> isn't scary. >> not investing. >> in it is. >> were you. >> in on this? >> nothing gets by you, james. >> nasdaq 100 innovators. >> one etf. >> before investing, carefully read and consider. >> fund investment. >> objectives. >> risks, charges, expenses and more in prospectus at invesco. >> the itch.

research lab here in the united states. >> analysts say that this super sized facility could be a sign that china is leaping ahead in the race toward nuclear fusion, which might give them a near limitless supply of clean energy and also amp up nuclear weapons development. cnn's bill weir is here with more on this. bill, maybe not surprising here. the chinese are being very secretive about this project. what are you learning about it? >> this is. >> fascinating. >> brianna. satellites just first noticed this back in 2020, and it really ramped up during the pandemic. >> but by. >> all accounts, it looks like china is trying to catch up with the u.s. and europe when it comes to nuclear fusion. that's the holy grail of clean energy right now. we're all familiar with nuclear fission, the splitting of an atom, which is incredibly safe despite what happened in chernobyl. uh, over time. but there still comes with the problem of maybe meltdowns. and also that radioactive waste, a nuclear fusion which is smashing atoms together to get more energy out of it than goes

in kind of the way the sun works, would have no nuclear waste to go with it. so that's why researchers have been chasing this dream for so long. and it looks like from that satellite photo, each of those four legs of the x is a different bay that holds a laser, and the target would be in the center. the one i visited at lawrence livermore, the national ignition facility out in california, which successfully pulled off nuclear fusion for the first time, even for just less than a nanosecond, is that's this is the look at that one in livermore. they use a round room with lasers pointing in from all different directions to create that. this facility would be 50% bigger, possibly than the one in livermore there as well. but this is happening at a time when china is going all in on energy, and especially wind and solar. they installed more solar last year than the rest of the world combined, and it looks like they're trying to catch up on fusion as well. >> yeah, bill, it's also a time where china's global ambitions have rubbed up against the

united states. this could also be something more ominous. well. >> china is part of the nuclear nonproliferation non-testing agreement. so like most countries, they can't fire off a test nuclear weapon. so any research is done in facilities like this one in livermore. most of the funding came from the defense department. as you think about this. so that's a possibility. something to think about. one, that possibility also scientists talking about is they figured out a way to combine fission and fusion, which is something the rest of the world hasn't done. and if they unlock that, they could leapfrog the world in these two technologies combined. >> whoa. yeah. intense. bill weir, thanks so much for the reporting. appreciate it. still ahead on cnn news central. it was the takeover announcement heard around the world. could the u.s. really move into gaza and try to transform the territory? what about the 2 million palestinians living there right now? details ahead.
