 Brian Snyder/ReutersThe former director of the Project 2025 hard-right policy playbook has slammed the Trump campaign and accused two of Donald Trump's top advisers of "malpractice."

Dans, a lawyer who for two years was head of the group that produced the controversial 900-page blueprint for a second Trump term, blamed Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles for the tightening race with Kamala Harris and said the former president should fire them.
