Voice of America staff put on administrative leave
Full-time employees at Voice of America received an email this morning from human resources saying they have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to a copy of the memo that was obtained ABC News.
This includes members of the VOA team covering the White House who are part of the radio pool.
The email says VOA staffers while on administrative leave are not allowed to access government buildings or systems and must be reachable by personal email and cellphone.
