Trump Appoints Russ Vought as OMB Director — Project 2025 Architect Takes Charge of Budget (2025-02-01)
Trump appoints Russ Vought as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Vought, who served as OMB director at the end of Trump's first term, was a key architect of Project 2025, authoring its chapter on executive power. Vought immediately begins implementing Project 2025's budget proposals: impounding funds Congress appropriated, freezing disbursements for programs the blueprint targets, and using budget authority to pressure agencies to comply with the administration's agenda.
