Trump team vetting more Project 2025 authors for top administration jobs: report

Raw Story  

Donald Trump and his advisers tried to distance themselves during the campaign from the controversial Project 2024 blueprint, but several individuals who worked on the plan for overhauling the federal government have already found jobs in his incoming administration. Russ Vought, one of the plan's chief architects and the author of its "comprehensive policy guide for the next conservative U.S. president," has already been vetted by Trump's transition team for a Cabinet-level position and has been meeting with top advisers at Mar-a-Lago, reported ABC News. His Center for Renewing American is listed as a member of Project 2025's advisory board, and Vought was deeply involved in drafting the plan's playbook for the first 180 days of a Trump administration. Sources said the Trump transition team was considering other candidates with ties to Project 2025, including authors and several contributors, including Gene Hamilton, who called for a sweeping "top-to-bottom overhaul" of the Justice Department" and is now being considered for a top legal role there. Project 2025 contributor Reed Rubinstein is also under consideration for the next general counsel for the Department of Treasury, Trump's team has already announced Brendan Carr, who authored a chapter on his plans for the Federal Communications Commission, to oversee the regulation of the nation's airwaves, and former ICE director and plan contributor Tom Homan to oversee mass deportations as "border czar."
