Lance Trover, former press secretary for Gov. Doug Burgum's presidential bid was put on the spot by CNN's Jim Acosta and had no defense for Trump hiring many Project 2025 people to his cabinet. Trump said he had no knowledge of anything to do with Project 2025, but we all knew that was a lie, including fact-checkers and journalists that defended him when he denied it. Trover's answer was tepid and milquetoast even for a MAGAt. ACOSTA: And throughout his campaign, I mean, Trump heavily distanced himself from Project 2025.
