During a recent meeting at the Capitol, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought defended the significant budget cuts being made to government entities and programs, stating that all actions taken by the administration are legal. When questioned about the permissibility of dismantling agencies like the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Vought reiterated that their actions are within the bounds of the law.
Regarding the administration's stance on abiding by Supreme Court decisions, Vought declined to provide a direct response, emphasizing that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss budget reconciliation with Senate Republicans.
