Senator Tim Kaine advised constituents not to accept the buyout offer, expressing concerns about its legality and potential impacts on national security, according to an interview with the Journal.

Former intelligence officials warned that the buyouts could lead to a loss of experienced staff and weaken intelligence operations, as mentioned by a former official in a statement.
