<p>President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> announced on Monday that he intends to have Mark Paoletta serve another stint as the top lawyer at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).</p>
<p>In the role, Paoletta will help out the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)</a>, a new project headed by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vivek-ramaswamy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vivek Ramaswamy</a> that aims to cut down on waste, Trump declared.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am pleased to announce that Mark Paoletta will be returning as General Counsel of the Office of Management and Budget,&#8221; Trump said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113625471739178108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to Truth Social. &#8220;Mark will work closely with our DOGE team to cut the size of our bloated Government bureaucracy, and root out wasteful and anti-American spending.&#8221;</p>

<p>Paoletta is a &#8220;brilliant and tenacious lawyer, who worked tirelessly to advance my Agenda in the First Term&#8221; and as OMB general counsel &#8220;led the charge to identify funding to build the Southern Border Wall, and worked with then-OMB Director Russ Vought to rein in woke and weaponized Government spending,&#8221; Trump added.</p>
<p>Trump revealed in November that he was nominating Vought to once again serve as his OMB director. In the intervening years, Vought founded The Center for Renewing America, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/flagrant-disregard-for-taxpayer-funds-pentagon-fails-sixth-consecutive-audit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a conservative policy organization</a> where Paoletta has worked as a senior adviser.</p>
<p>The announcement on Monday noted that Paoletta is also a partner at the Schaerr Jaffe law firm, served as a chief counsel for Oversight and Investigations in Congress for a decade, and was a &#8220;key lawyer&#8221; in the White House Counsel’s Office to confirm Justice Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mark is a conservative warrior who knows the &#8216;ins and outs&#8217; of Government — He will help us, Make America Great Again!&#8221; Trump exclaimed.</p>
<p>In responding to Trump&#8217;s decision to have him return to OMB, which has a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated mission</a> &#8220;to assist the President in meeting policy, budget, management, and regulatory objectives and to fulfill the agency’s statutory responsibilities, Paoletta mentioned DOGE, too.</p>

<p>Paoletta <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=500474" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently </a>told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that career Department of Justice employees who refuse to get on board with Trump&#8217;s second administration should leave the federal government.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨 <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkPaoletta?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MarkPaoletta</a>: DOJ career employees who plan to subvert President Trump’s agenda shouldn’t work at the Justice Department <a href="https://t.co/16RctrNGW0">pic.twitter.com/16RctrNGW0</a></p>

<p>&#8220;Only in the federal government, only with a deep swamp do people &#8230; the career employees  think that they get to run the joint as it were,&#8221; Paolota said, adding that Trump &#8220;was reelected with an overwhelming majority of an agenda by the American people popularly supported.&#8221;</p>
