Former president Donald J. Trump has repeatedly claimed that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's conservative policy initiative to reshape the federal government. Mr. Trump has said that he has not read its proposals and does not know who is behind it. But Project 2025 has numerous ties to Mr. Trump and his campaign, a New York Times analysis has found.
The people behind Project 2025 are no strangers to the former president. The Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin D. Roberts, and a co-founder, Edwin J. Feulner, have each personally met with Mr. Trump. And the analysis of the Project 2025 playbook and its 307 authors and contributors revealed that well over half of them had been in Mr. Trump's administration or on his campaign or transition teams.
Large portions of the "Mandate for Leadership," the driving document behind Project 2025, were written by longtime Trump loyalists who were advisers to Mr. Trump during his first term.
