A high-profile ex-CNN anchor singled out the insider said to be the "biggest leaker" in the Trump White House.

Don Lemon said during an interview with Legal AF host Michael Popok that Vice President "J.D. Vance is like the biggest leaker of them all" in the White House based on what "many people have said and according to some of the reporting."

Lemon and Popok were talking about Trump's efforts to hunt down the insider who leaked details of a "freakout" in the Situation Room over the Epstein files. The freakout is detailed in the forthcoming book Regime Change by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan....

President Donald Trump did not hold back in disparaging the world-famous John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, where he attended his first board meeting as new chair.

In February, Trump announced that he would “immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP.”

"It's in tremendous disrepair," Trump said while touring the facility this week. "As is a lot of the rest of our country. Most of it, is because of bad management. This is a shame what I've watched and witnessed. They spent a fortune, $250 million, and they've built these rooms that nobody's gonna use. Rooms underground. And I've often wondered, what are the big cubes that they have outside that block the view? They're cubes with a door in them so they can get down to rooms that nobody's going to use. And it's a shame. It's a shame."...

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), also the vice president-elect, is missing in action, according to Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser, John Bolton.

Bolton, who has been critical of Trump, including the president-elect's election fraud conspiracy theories, appeared on CNN on Saturday to discuss Trump's recent actions on the world stage.

The host asked Bolton about the presence of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, at many of Trump's events with foreign world leaders. ...

Jake Tapper of CNN laughed in Sen. J.D. Vance's face during a yet-to-be-released interview on the network, prompting laughter on social media.

In an interview recorded for State of the Union, Tapper asked Vance, "So all those ten people, including the former vice president, Mike Pence, all of these people are have this horribly damaged worldview and they're all just going after Donald Trump because they want to send people into war. That's what, that's really your argument?"

"Absolutely, that's my argument," Vance replied. ...

Social media exploded on Saturday after Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) had a strange reaction to a story about a Trump voter who purportedly used vulgar language toward a poll worker.

The unverified tale from Reddit stated that a woman arrived at a polling location wearing a Trump shirt, and was told she couldn't vote while wearing political merchandise. According to the screenshot, which has now been removed from X, the woman said, "Suck my c---" and took off her shirt before voting in her bra.

Vance shared the post this weekend, writing, "What a patriot." ...

Appearing on MSNBC's "Way Too Early," former Republican National Committee spokesperson Tim Miller took a shot at Donald Trump's running mate for claiming to a rally crowd that the 78-year old GOP presidential nominee is "healthier" than him.

Speaking with host Jonathan Lemire, Miller, of the conservative Bulwark, quickly slapped down the spin and ridiculed the Ohio Republican for engaging in the type of propaganda that would not be out of place in North Korea.

Speaking in Reno, Vance proclaimed, "I try to be a humble guy. I think the presidency is, of course, such a big job but I feel extremely confident. I mean, hell, Donald Trump is healthier than I am, so I feel extremely confident that Donald Trump is going to serve and serve well for four years for the American people."

After sharing the Reno rally clip, host Lemire called Vance's remarks "shameless" and dryly added, "J.D. Vance is almost 40 years younger than Donald Trump, but that won't stop him from saying that Donald Trump is healthier, smarter, more handsome than he is. There really isn't anything they won't say to flatter the boss, will they?"

"Yeah," Miller agreed. "The North Korea-type spin remains uncomfortable, even though we've been dealing with this for whatever, nine years now, Jonathan."

"I think J.D. Vance, in particular, feels like he has to go overboard to overcompensate for the fact that he once sounded a lot like me: he was a never-Trump Republican for many years before he decided to go all in," he added. "I think this is kind of a way for him to maintain credibility with the boss – that he has an audience of one, if you will."
