"I know nothing about Project 2025": Hundreds of Trump allies are tied to Heritage Foundation scheme

Salon  

While Donald Trump and his campaign try to widen the distance between themselves and Project 2025 — a 900-page playbook for a second Trump presidency — at least 140 people who worked in his administration have contributed to it, a CNN review found. “I know nothing about Project 2025,” the former president wrote in a recent TruthSocial post. “I have no idea who is behind it.” While Trump and his aides are certainly bothered by the attention Project 2025 has received, an investigation into people listed as authors, editors, and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership” shows a long list of the former president's allies involved in the Heritage Foundation plan to overhaul the federal government. Former Trump-era Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr even wrote an entire chapter; another contributor was anti-abortion advocate Lisa Correnti, who Trump appointed as a delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. “Team Biden and the are lying and fear-mongering because they have nothing else to offer the American people,” Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez told CNN in a statement.
