A federal judge pushed back the deadline for President Donald Trump's buyout offer for federal workers on Thursday.

Trump's administration initially told federal workers they needed to decide whether to accept the buyout offer by Thursday. The new ruling delays the deadline to at least Monday, with another hearing on the issue scheduled for that day.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. did not express an opinion on the legality of Trump's buyback program.
