WASHINGTON—A top aide to the Senate sergeant-at-arms (SAA) confirmed to The Epoch Times that multiple new hires have been made in that office’s cybersecurity department.

“There has been a hiring initiative with our cybersecurity department where we’ve been increasing the staff and converting contractors over to staff positions, so you may have seen that but it’s not a ‘housecleaning,’ it’s just a hiring initiative,” said the aide, who requested not to be identified.
