2/ “For nearly two hours, he talked candidly about his behind-the-scenes work to prepare policy for #Trump, his expansive views on presidential power, his plans to restrict pornography and immigration, and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty” instead of “Christian nation-ism.”

3/ "Vought said his group, the Center for Renewing America, was secretly drafting hundreds of executive orders, regulations, and memos that would lay the groundwork for rapid action on #Trump’s plans if he wins, describing his work as creating “shadow” agencies. He claimed that Trump has “blessed” his organization and “he’s very supportive of what we do.”

4/ "Vought said he had personally talked to Trump in recent mos & received at least 1 personal “assignment” from him after he left office. He noted that TFG has “been at our org, he’s raised money for our organization, he’s blessed it … he’s very supportive of what we do.”
That wasn’t just bluster to try to land a big check, according to others in the MAGA movement. Trump and Vought have spoken at various times since leaving office, and the former president has adopted some of Vought’s ideas"

Vought’s guiding principle, he said, was simple: What would Donald do?"
