#RussVought, who also directed the White House #OMB in Trump’s first term, had spent 4 years in exile from power. He worked through Joe #Biden’s presidency from an old rowhouse near the Capitol, where he complained of pigeons infesting his ceiling & coordinated with other #Trump loyalists to draw up sweeping, detailed plans for a comeback.

“We’re going to let #DOGE break things, & we’ll pick up the pieces later,” #RussVought told his staff during one flash of irritation, according to 3 of those people. Vought’s spokeswoman, Rachel Cauley, denied that he made those comments, & that he felt frustrated by #Musk.

This had not been Vought’s plan.
