White House is using USAID funds to pay for Russell "Project 2025" Vought's SECURITY DETAIL. FIFTEEEN MILLION!

The White House has defended using funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to provide security for Russell Vought, the architect of Project 2025, who President Donald Trump named as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Reuters first reported on Friday that the White House had redirected $15 million in funds from USAID, which had been decimated by Vought, to his security detail.

More than one dozen U.S. Marshals were assigned to protect Vought, one person familiar with the arrangement told Reuters.
