Under #Vought, #OMB also withheld military #aid to #Ukraine as #Trump pressured President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy to investigate President Joe #Biden & his son. Vought refused to comply w/a congressional demand to depose him during the subsequent Democrat-led House investigation that led to Trump’s first #impeachment. The inquiry, Vought said, was a sham.

#OMB is a typically sedate office that builds the president’s #budget & reviews #regulations. But w/ #Vought at the helm, OMB was at the center of showdowns between #Trump & #Congress over federal spending & the #legal bounds of #PresidentialPower.

After lawmakers refused to give Trump more money for his southern US #BorderWall, the budget office siphoned billions from the #Pentagon & #Treasury Dept budgets to pay for it.
