Howard Lutnick, co-chair of Trump’s transition team, says potential appointees are ‘all going to be on the same side’

A senior official on Donald Trump’s campaign has said any appointees in a second Trump administration would need to prove “fidelity and loyalty”.

The official also sought to distance the former president from Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation plan calling for a far-right federal government in the event of a Trump victory at the voting polls in November.
