A video played during the DNC on Monday night made claims related to Project 2025 and former President Donald Trump's plans if he is elected to a second term. The video was followed by remarks from Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who also discussed "Project 2025." Related video above: More about Project 2025Project 2025 is the term for the Heritage Foundation’s nearly 1,000-page handbook for the next Republican administration, which has become a cudgel Democrats are wielding against Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. The handbook proposes sweeping changes in the federal government.Some of the claims about Project 2025 require clarification or further explanation. Here's a look: Claim: During remarks, Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow held up a large book and said, “This is Project 2025." She went on to describe the document as a "Republican blueprint for a second Trump term.”Get the Facts: Project 2025 is a real initiative. It was organized by the Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups, and it is designed to prepare policy frameworks for a future Republican presidency. However, Trump has disavowed the project, which he described as “seriously extreme," according to factcheck.org.Rating: Needs context Claim: The state senator claimed that Project 2025 was "planned to turn Donald Trump into a dictator.”Get the Facts: This is a charged statement that reflects McMorrow’s interpretation of the potential implications of Project 2025. The plan advocates for consolidating executive power. However, it does not explicitly state an intent to establish a dictatorship. Furthermore, as previously stated, Trump has disavowed the project.Rating: Misleading McMorrow stated that Page 535 of Project 2025 says, "reissue Trump’s Schedule F Executive Order to permit discharge of non-performing employees.” She went on to state that “If Donald Trump gets back into the White House, he’s going to fire civil servants like intelligence officers, engineers and even federal prosecutors if he decides that they don’t serve his personal agenda.”Get the Facts: Project 2025 plan supports reissuing the Schedule F Executive Order. That would allow the president to remove federal employees classified under this category without the usual civil service protections. It could be used to remove employees for political reasons but the statement is speculative about Trump’s intent.Rating: Needs context Reading from page 873 of Project 2025, McMorrow said the document states that "conservatives have long believed in either ending law enforcement activities of independent agencies or ending their independent status.”Get the Facts: Project 2025 documents do discuss reducing the power and independence of certain agencies, but this is framed as a means to ensure accountability, not necessarily to politicize these agencies. The interpretation that this would lead to politicization is speculative.Rating: Needs context McMorrow alleged that under Project 2025, Trump would "be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents," and went on to state that Trump "could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force.”Get the Facts: Concerns about “weaponizing” the DOJ stems from the previously mentioned potential reduction in agency independence. Project 2025 documents do not explicitly propose weaponizing the DOJ, which makes the claim speculative. The claim reflects a worst-case scenario interpretation. The statement about the FBI is also speculative. That's because, while Project 2025 could lead to changes in how agencies like the FBI operate, there is no explicit plan to turn it into a “personal police force.”Rating: Misleading McMorrow touched on Donald Trump appointing three U.S. Supreme Court justices during his term and a recent decision by the court regarding presidential immunity. She said that “Donald Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court has made him completely immune from prosecution, even if he breaks the law.”Get the Facts: The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution. However, the court's decision has not made Trump immune from prosecution, nor has the court granted legal immunity to the former president.Rating: False The Associated Press contributed to this report.
