Russell Vought, the co-author of Project 2025, participated in a secret meeting in Washington, D.C., hoping to secure a major donation for the initiative, according to a CNN report. Project 2025 is a strategy for a potential second term for former President Donald Trump.
Vought stated he had received assignments from Trump and mentioned that the former president is “very supportive of what we do.”
Vought authored the project’s chapter on the executive office and helped with other chapters, highlighting his importance to Republican goals.
