Last month, Russell Vought sat in a five-star Washington, DC, hotel suite, bowing his head in prayer with two men he thought were relatives of a wealthy conservative donor. Vought, one of the key authors of Project 2025, a right-wing blueprint for a second Trump term, expected the meeting would help his think tank secure a substantial contribution. For nearly two hours, he talked candidly about his behind-the-scenes work to prepare policy for former President Donald Trump, his expansive views on presidential power, his plans to restrict pornography and immigration, and his... But the men Vought was talking to actually worked for a British journalism nonprofit and were secretly recording him the entire time. The nonprofit, the Centre for Climate Reporting, published a video of the meeting on Thursday – offering a window into the thinking of one of the top policy minds of the MAGA movement, who’s... Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals.

Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.” If Donald Trump wins a second term, Project 2025 will be at the ready with hundreds of executive orders, agendas, regulations and memos set to go, in work that the former president actively supports,... Russell Vought, who helped write the nearly 1,000-page project handbook that would overhaul the federal government along conservative lines, told British journalists posing as conservative donors that Trump fully approves of the operation and... Trump has disavowed any knowledge of such plans and said he does not even know the people involved, though Vought is said to be in line to serve as chief of staff if 45... Vought also led the Office of Management and Budget during the Trump administration.

At least 140 people who used to work for Trump are involved in the ultraconservative initiative. “He’s been at our organization, he’s raised money for our organization,” Vought unwittingly told journalists from the British nonprofit Centre for Climate Reporting as he met with the purported donors in a hotel room... “I remember walking into our last day in office and told him what I was going to do. So he’s very supportive of what we do.” Vought went on to describe how they were preparing to hit the ground running in the event that Trump wins in November, even as he called Project 2025 “the left’s bogeyman.” His own nonprofit... Trump has “blessed” the organization working behind the scenes on hundreds of executive orders, should he win again.

Among its many “wish list” items, it calls for the rescinding of protections for LGBTQ people, the further deterioration of reproductive rights, the privatization of Medicare, the abolishment of the Department of Education and... While former President Donald Trump has repeatedly, publicly distanced himself from Project 2025 — a 900-page guidebook for Trump’s second term as President — one of the document’s co-authors was caught on a hidden...

Russell Vought was the director of the Office of Management and Budget during Trump’s administration, and he later ran the Center for Renewing America after Trump lost reelection. The organization played a large role in crafting Project 2025, along with several other right-wing groups. As the policy director for the Republican National Convention last month, Vought also helped to write the new GOP platform. In short, Vought is deeply involved in developing policy for the Republican party as well as Project 2025. The UK-based Centre for Climate Reporting constructed a ruse to catch Vought spilling insider information on Project 2025, requesting a meeting between him and two journalists who misrepresented themselves as relatives of “a reclusive... During the July 24 meeting, Vought spoke candidly about the goals of Project 2025 and how much Trump had a hand in it.

CNN reported: Vought said he had personally talked to Trump in recent months and received at least one personal “assignment” from him after he left office. He noted that the former president has “been at our organization, he’s raised money for our organization, he’s blessed it … he’s very supportive of what we do.” President Donald Trump disavowed the Project 2025 policy blueprint during his campaign last year as Democrats attacked the document and its contents. Since then, Trump has invited some of the most prominent contributors to the conservative playbook into his administration. The document, which outlined a vision for a future Republican presidency, generally foreshadowed Trump’s sweeping moves to slash government agencies and cut federal funding in his first weeks in office, though there are also...

As the dust settles after a whirlwind of Cabinet nominations, confirmation hearings and early administration actions, here’s where some prominent authors and contributors involved in Project 2025 have landed in the Trump administration. As a principal author of Project 2025, Vought — Trump’s pick to direct the Office of Management and Budget in his first and second terms — wrote a chapter outlining plans to overhaul the... In his chapter, Vought referred to OMB as “the president’s air-traffic control system,” with its director tasked with serving as “the keeper of ‘commander’s intent.’” Vought wrote in the section that the next administration would require “boldness to bend or break bureaucracy to the presidential will” and “self-denial” to send power from Washington back to the hands of American...
