Office of Budget and Management Director Russell Vought killed USAID, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths,
and is now using the money he “saved” to bankroll his security detail.

A Reuters report Friday states that the Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma”
is spending $15 million of former USAID funding
—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases
—to pay his U.S. Marshal security through the end of the year.

One source told Reuters that Vought has more than a dozen U.S. marshals in his security detail.

While Vought allegedly faced a threat on his life last month,
the irony of the man who ripped disease-fighting funding away from some of the most at-risk people in the world only to use it to beef up his personal bodyguard staff is impossible to ignore.

This is yet another example of Trump officials’ questionable personal spending habits.
On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Homeland Security
is leasing a $70 million jet that Secretary Kristi Noem and her alleged boyfriend Corey Lewandowski use to travel in luxury.
And what’s up with that $400 million White House ballroom?
