The White House on Wednesday sought to turn around claims from Democrats that there was a looming “constitutional crisis” if President Trump defied court orders, arguing that the real “crisis” was the result of federal judges blocking the president’s agenda.

The executive order could come as soon as next week, if the Trump administration goes ahead with plans, according to people familiar with the matter.

About 75,000 federal employees have accepted the White House's "deferred resignation" offer to resign but receive pay through September, according to a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management.

A judge said Monday the freeze on President Donald Trump’s buyout offer to federal civilian employees will be lifted, after pushing back last week’s deadline for more than 2 million employees to decide whether to take resignation packages with pay through September—part of Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s bid to shrink the federal workforce.
