WHITE HOUSE USES USAID FUNDS FOR BUDGET DIRECTOR VOUGHT'S SECURITY

The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an architect of the government overhaul that has cut thousands of federal jobs.
