  • WASHINGTON
  • President-elect Donald Trump designated Mark Paoletta, a former congressional staffer and White House veteran who has represented the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to serve as general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget in his second administration. Paoletta filled that role in Trump's first term as well.

The article from USA Today discusses the appointment of Mark Paoletta as the General Counsel for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under President Trump. Paoletta, previously known for his role as the chief counsel to Vice President Mike Pence, has been a significant figure in conservative legal circles. His appointment comes at a time when the Trump administration is focusing on deregulation and budget management. Paoletta's background includes experience in both the executive and legislative branches, making him a strategic choice for navigating the complex interplay between policy, law, and budget management. His tenure is expected to influence the administration's approach to regulatory reform, budget oversight, and potentially contentious issues like the debt ceiling and government funding.
