Former Trump officials’ names and corporate affiliations have been scrubbed from Project 2025.

The Trump campaign has sent a clear message to the Heritage Foundation and others leading Project 2025: Shut up or “it will not end well for you.”
Some former Trump administration officials who contributed to Project 2025’s controversial 900-page manifesto seem to have gotten the signal. The Intercept found Project 2025 recently tweaked its list of individual contributors, removing two names entirely and modifying two more to eliminate their employment affiliations with prominent firms.
For weeks, former President Donald Trump has been trying to distance himself from Project 2025. In recent months, some conservative organizations have quietly exited the Project 2025 advisory board, including some that were extensively involved in drafting the playbook.
After the Tuesday ouster of the director of Project 2025, Paul Dans, who previously served in the Trump administration, the Washington Post reported that “there had been requests from people to get their names taken off the work.” A campaign spokesperson reportedly threatened to blacklist other Project 2025 affiliates from posts in the Trump administration.
