Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, February 5th, the Checks and Balances War Room will host a press call featuring House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), House Budget Committee Ranking Member Brendan Boyle (D-PA), and Congressional Integrity Project senior advisor Kyle Herrig to sound the alarm on President Trump’s theft of federal dollars promised to Americans and the potential confirmation of the mastermind behind these unlawful actions, Russell Vought. Ahead of a final vote before the Senate on Russell Vought’s nomination to become the next Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the speakers will highlight the dangers of Vought’s Project 2025 plan to illegally freeze federal funding and give President Trump unchecked power to undermine Congressional authority over spending. The Senate is considering Vought’s nomination this week, with the final vote scheduled for Thursday or Friday.
Impoundment—unilaterally stealing investments promised to American families—threatens to raise the cost of living, weaken our national security, kick children out of afterschool programs and child care, and pull families out of their homes. Vought has been a staunch advocate for this unlawful action. Just last week, despite Vought not yet being confirmed, Trump followed his lead, unilaterally freezing critical resources that hardworking Americans depend on. This chaos backfired, provoking public outrage and resulting in temporary halts issued by federal courts in Washington, DC, and Rhode Island.
WHAT: Press call with Ranking Members Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Brendan Boyle (D-PA) on the Trump Administration’s continued efforts to steal public funds from the American people ahead of OMB director nominee Russell Vought’s Senate confirmation vote.

-
House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)

-
Kyle Herrig, senior advisor, Congressional Integrity Project
