White House budget director advocates more funding for own agency, cuts for others

White House budget director Russ Vought argued before a U.S. House panel for more funding for his agency while suggesting cuts for others, despite having received $100 million in the past year. Vought claimed that the earlier funding was largely unspent and necessary for the agency's oversight roles. This move highlights a potential shift in budget priorities within the administration, raising questions about the allocation of federal resources and the broader implications for government operations and efficiency.
