The White House’s budget office is financing a security detail for one of its most aggressive cost-cutters with funds from the same international aid and development agency he helped effectively shut down.
Russell Vought, who serves as Donald Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is set to receive protection worth $15 million from the U.S. Marshals Service through the end of 2026, Reuters reported Friday.
Vought took over MAGA’s cost-cutting drive after Elon Musk’s departure as head of the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative last year. The 49-year-old was also a principal architect of conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 proposals, widely regarded as the blueprint for Trump’s second term in office.
