Email Shows Project 2025 Coordinator Dangling Administration Job To Possible Contributor
HuffPost
A Heritage Foundation fellow said Project 2025 leaders’ personnel recommendations “are likely to carry influence” with a future Trump administration.
WASHINGTON — A coordinator of Project 2025, the right-wing policy playbook for a second Donald Trump administration, suggested to a possible contributor that working on the project would be a good way to win an administration job.
Steve Bradbury, a former Trump administration official now with the Heritage Foundation, said in an email last year to a prospective Project 2025 contributor that the leaders of the project would be able to put in a good word if Trump gets back in the White House.
“Those who show real commitment and provide valuable contributions will be recognized by the leaders of the project, whose recommendations are likely to carry influence with those who make personnel decisions for any future administration that embraces our policy proposals,” Bradbury wrote to Trent McCotter, an attorney who served in the first Trump administration’s Department of Justice, in March 2023.
The group American Oversight obtained the email through a public records request to George Mason University, where McCotter worked as an adjunct professor at the time.
McCotter, now a partner with the law firm Boyden Gray, responded that he could contribute based on his experience in the Justice Department. He is listed as one of dozens of Project 2025 contributors.
