Acting OPM director Charles Ezell won't testify at a hearing later this week in a major case challenging the government’s efforts to cull the federal workforce.

The DOJ says it is withdrawing a declaration Ezell submitted last month that had served as their only evidence in the case.

A federal judge rejected a DOJ request to cancel the hearing on Monday .

The case is an important one, testing the ability of the Trump administration to drive its policy for cutting the workforce.
