US State Department, per The Washington Sun, asked diplomats about voting for Trump during promotions
According to The Washington Sun, citing six current and former State Department employees, candidates for promotion were asked about voting for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 and were warned about checks of donations to Democrats. Democratic congressmembers are demanding an investigation, citing a federal law prohibition on considering political affiliation. The State Department did not confirm the questions but stated that loyalty means fidelity to the Constitution and the administration's priorities.
