President-elect Donald Trump has reappointed Mark Paoletta as General Counsel of the Office of Management and Budget for his second term. Paoletta, who served in this role during Trump’s first term, is expected to work alongside a new initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aimed at reducing bureaucracy and cutting wasteful spending. Trump praised Paoletta’s skills and experience, mentioning previous successes regarding the Southern Border Wall funding. The collaboration with DOGE, co-led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, marks a significant partnership in Trump's ongoing agenda for government reform.
