Former President Donald Trump denied any connection to Project 2025, the handbook for a new conservative government written by the Heritage Foundation and several right-wing think tanks, in his Sept. 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. "I have nothing to do with Project 2025," Trump said in the ABC News Presidential Debate. "I haven't read it. I don't want to read it purposely. I'm not going to read it."

The plan promises, among other things, to oust career civil servants in the federal government and replace them with people who are staunch loyalists of the president. However, in a video unearthed by NBC's Vaughn Hillyard, Trump's speech to the Heritage Foundation reveals he knew that they were crafting the plan for him.
