Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., sharply criticized Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought during a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government hearing.
In her opening statement, DeLauro accused him of “unlawfully impounding or stealing congressionally appropriated funds.”
“You envision a king unbound by laws, who rules by decree, who accepts lavish gifts from foreign governments, who fills public offices with ultra-wealthy and political allies, and who expels opposition and crushes dissent,” DeLauro said. “This view of presidential authority could not be more un-American and more dangerous to our constitutional order.”
