Did POTUS Did President Trump intend EO 13839 to restrict Agencies from correcting fake/malicious performance and conduct records as part of an EEOC settlement? I have a hard time believing our great President would want hardworking, dedicated, competent employees who are victims of retaliatory, harassing, and malicious manager’s abuse of the performance and conduct system to not have their fake/malicious performance and conduct records corrected to remedy a formal EEO complaint. Please advise if possible.
