Paul Dans Confirms Project 2025 Has Integration with Trump Campaign -- Calls It the Engine Room (2024-04-15)

Paul Dans, director of Project 2025, told a right-wing podcast that the Heritage Foundation initiative had a great relationship with Trump and that Trump is very bought in with this. He described Project 2025 as really going to be the engine room for the next administration. The statement directly contradicted the Trump campaigns later claims of no association with the project and was recorded months before Trump began publicly disavowing any connection.
