Don Jr reportedly leading charge to create list of people banned from second Trump White House
SUMMARY
Donald Trump Jr. is reportedly leading efforts to create a list of individuals who will be banned from serving in a potential second Trump administration, according to Politico. The list, similar to the infamous "enemies list" from the Nixon administration, is reportedly targeting people associated with Project 2025, first-term staffers who resigned after the January 6 Capitol riot, and those seen as lacking loyalty to Donald Trump. This move is said to be an attempt to avoid the turnover and internal resistance that plagued Trump's first term. Trump Jr., the honorary chair of the transition team, is reportedly in charge of vetting individuals to prevent "bad actors" from re-entering a Trump administration. The blacklist also reportedly includes those involved with Project 2025, a conservative policy platform backed by over 100 organizations. Despite its widespread backing, the Trump team seems intent on distancing itself from it.
