A federal judge has ordered the departments of Veterans Affairs, Defense, Energy, Interior, and Treasury to reinstate probationary employees who were terminated in February. The Office of Personnel Management had directed the departments to fire probationary employees, but the judge ruled that this directive was not legal. The judge ordered the departments to offer reinstatement to all probationary employees who were terminated around February 13. This decision is a significant development in this ongoing story, and more updates are expected to follow. Gary Grumbach is a NBC News Legal Affairs Reporter based in Washington, D.C.
