        THE FACTS: Trump has said he doesn’t know about Project 2025, a controversial blueprint for another Republican presidential administration.

        The plan was written up by many of his former aides and allies, but Trump has never said he’ll implement the roughly 900-page guide if he’s elected again. He has said it’s not related to his campaign.

        That’s everything they said. Those are quite literally the facts which they can report on: what Trump says.

        Nope. Not what you’re saying it is. They call out its origin even.

        The plan was written up by many of his former aides and allies,

        They also briefly mention what he claims. That is in no way corroborating it. They are simply trying to avoid seeming biased. The other time “2025” appears in that page, it’s a quote from Harris about how dangerous it is.

        This is normal and decent journalism.

          Well that’s the article my boss used to “prove” to me that trump wasn’t associated with it. It’d be nice if honest reporting wasn’t immediately cast out as being leftist.

            He read the sentence he wanted, essentially summarizing Trump’s claim, and ignored everything else. What is AP supposed to do about that kind of idiocy? You could do that with practically any source of information
