Vought grilled over DOGE, spending cuts in House hearing

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought was grilled by both sides of the aisle over the administration’s sweeping cost-cutting plans as he testified before House appropriators Wednesday afternoon.

Vought faced a wide-ranging list of questions during a budget hearing, as lawmakers pressed him over President Trump’s latest spending cut requests, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), along with a major tax package of the president’s priorities making its way through Congress.
