White House Taps USAID Funds for Vought Security
February 13, 2026·11 days ago·via Honolulu Star-Advertiser
The White House Office of Management and Budget, led by Russell Vought, reallocates $15 million from the dismantled USAID's remaining funds to pay for his U.S. Marshals security detail through 2026, amid heightened threats linked to his Project 2025 role and government overhaul efforts. Trump administration officials gutted USAID last year, slashing most foreign aid programs and shifting duties to the State Department, leaving just 100 staff to wind down operations.
