Neomi Rao, a top White House official under consideration for the Washington federal appeals court seat vacated by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, on Thursday lauded the Trump administration’s work to slash regulations and bring billions of dollars in savings to U.S. businesses.

Rao, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, summarized the administration’s deregulatory efforts in economic terms, comparing the billions of dollars in estimated savings under the Trump administration to the $245 billion in new costs that came with regulations in the early years of the Obama presidency.
