The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an agency of the United States government responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector. CFPB's jurisdiction includes banks, credit unions, securities firms, payday lenders, mortgage-servicing operations, foreclosure relief services, debt collectors, and other financial companies operating in the United States. Since its founding, the CFPB has used technology tools to monitor how financial entities used social media and algorithms to target consumers.: 531–532, 537  The CFPB's creation was authorized by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, whose passage in 2010 was a legislative response to the financial crisis of 2007–08 and the subsequent Great Recession. The CFPB's status as an independent agency has been subject to many challenges in court. In June 2020, the United States Supreme Court found the single-director structure removable only with-cause unconstitutional but allowed the agency to remain in operation.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was a second Trump administration initiative in the United States. Despite its name, it was not a federal executive department. President Donald Trump established it by executive order on January 20, 2025, by renaming the United States Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service and creating a temporary organization scheduled to end on July 4, 2026. The idea was first suggested to Trump by Elon Musk in 2024. DOGE's stated objective was to modernize federal information technology, increase productivity, and reduce regulations and spending. DOGE personnel and affiliates were assigned to federal agencies, where they obtained access to information systems, participated in contract cancellations, promoted artificial intelligence tools, and supported workforce reductions and agency restructuring. The status and leadership of DOGE were disputed during 2025. The White House said Elon Musk was a senior presidential adviser rather than a DOGE employee with formal decision-making authority, while Trump publicly described Musk as heading DOGE and a federal judge found that Musk had likely acted as its de facto leader in actions affecting USAID. Musk left Washington at the end of May 2025, and in November 2025 Scott Kupor, director of the United States Office of Personnel Management, told Reuters that DOGE no longer existed as a centralized entity and that many of its functions had been absorbed by OPM and the Office of Management and Budget. DOGE claimed large savings from contract cancellations and other cuts, but journalists and independent analysts found repeated accounting errors and disputed savings claims. Senate Democrats and the Partnership for Public Service separately estimated that DOGE had imposed billions of dollars in costs, and public-health researchers and commentators linked foreign-aid cuts conducted with DOGE assistance to large numbers of preventable deaths. Its actions drew support from Trump administration officials and criticism from Democrats, federal employee unions, watchdog groups, and legal commentators, who challenged its authority, transparency, and handling of personal data.

The White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO, sometimes written as Office of Presidential Personnel) is the White House Office tasked with vetting new appointees. Its offices are on the first floor of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. The PPO is one of the offices most responsible for assessing candidates to work at or for the White House.The Office is responsible for approximately 4,000 political appointment positions, of which 1,600 require Senate confirmation. The White House Presidential Office recruits candidates to serve in departments and agencies throughout the Executive Branch. It presents candidates for presidential appointments with Senate confirmation (PAS) to the Senate after they have been approved by the President of the United States. The mission of the office is to provide the president with the best applicants possible for presidency-appointed positions. Lastly, it also provides policy guidance for federal department and agency heads on conduct for political activities.In 2018, the PPO was made up of about 30 members, about one-third of its usual staff. The professionalism of the PPO under President Trump was challenged, with The Washington Post reporting that the office was staffed with largely-inexperienced personnel. As of July 2021, the PPO under President Biden has returned to its usual staffing numbers, with about 80 people in the office.

The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB)—formerly known as the Old Executive Office Building (OEOB), and originally as the State, War, and Navy Building—is a U.S. government building situated just west of the White House in the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. Maintained by the General Services Administration, it is currently occupied by the Executive Office of the President, including the Office of the Vice President of the United States. In 1999, it was named for former president and general Dwight D. Eisenhower. Located on 17th Street NW, between Pennsylvania Avenue and State Place, and West Executive Drive, the building was commissioned by President Ulysses S. Grant. It was built between 1871 and 1888, on the site of the original 1800 War/State/Navy Building and the White House stables, in the French Second Empire style. As its first name suggests, it was initially built to house three departments. It was for years the world's largest office building, with 566 rooms and about 10 acres (40,000 m2) of floor space, until it was surpassed by The Pentagon in 1943. While the building's elaborate style received substantial criticism when it was first completed, it has since been designated as a National Historic Landmark.

The White House Office of Public Engagement is a unit of the White House Office within the Executive Office of the President of the United States.

President Joe Biden changed the name to the White House Office of Public Engagement but retained Trump's separate Intergovernmental Affairs Office in his administration.
