Another high-profile departure at the Heritage Foundation: Mary Vought, who served as the think tank’s VP of strategic communications, bids adieu this week. “I’m grateful to @KevinRobertsTX for entrusting me with this position. It’s been an honor to work alongside some of the nation’s foremost policy minds while leading Heritage’s talented communications team – a group I am deeply proud of,” Vought tweeted. “I am returning full-time to my company, Leverage PR.”

“Thank you, @MaryVought, for your great work,” Heritage Foundation president Kevin D. Roberts wrote in response. “It’s been a pleasure to work with you for nearly a decade – both @TPPF and @Heritage – so I look forward to collaborating with you in the future. Best wishes on the next step! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸”

A very neatly orchestrated exit for Vought – though you’d expect nothing less from the VP of strategic communications.

Vought’s ex-husband Russ is currently serving a second stint as Trump’s OMB director. And not unlike the Trump administration, Heritage and Vought seem to be adopting a policy of omertà: Cockburn understands the terms of Vought’s departure involved her signing a non-disclosure agreement and receiving a $500,000 payout. Vought didn’t respond to a request for comment when asked about this – but then, why would she?
