Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, promised to help American taxpayers while undergoing a contentious confirmation hearing on Wednesday.

Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of the Office of Management and Budget, will testify before Congress for the second time. Since the first, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) met with Vought and released a statement disagreeing with the nomination.

Russell Vought, Donald Trump's pick to direct the Office of Management and Budget, will appear before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Wednesday around 1:00 p.m. Vought held this position in Trump's first term and has since worked on the RNC's platform committee and the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025.

Vought noted that Trump instructed all agency heads in his first term to use the Schedule F classification, a move that he called “sound policy” to ensure that the president “has career civil servants that are going to give us all of their knowledge and expertise, and disagreement at times as to what they think about a potential proposal.”

Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), testifies Wednesday before the Senate Budget Committee for his confirmation hearing. Vought was acting OMB director for the final two years of Trump first administration.
