TREE NEWS update: White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought said the “pocket recession” does not face judicial risk or court challenges. The statement addresses the legal exposure of the term, which Vought characterized as unassailable in court.
White House OMB Director Vought Says ‘Pocket Recession’ Faces No Legal Risk
