Trump says he knows ‘nothing about’ Project 2025 conservative effort under attack

Former President Donald Trump said he does not know anything about Project 2025, a presidential transition framework led by the Heritage Foundation that conservatives have lauded as a way to reshape the federal government should Trump be reelected. 

In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said he knows “nothing about Project 2025” and that he does not know who is behind the effort. However, the former president noted he disagrees with a handful of the pillars of the framework and argued that some of the ideas are “ridiculous and abysmal,” although he did not specify which ones.
