President Donald Trump's closest allies — Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — have been accused of leaking White House information to news outlets, a reporter said on Thursday.
Emma Vigeland, co-host of “The Majority Report,” described what was happening behind the scenes as Trump’s Cabinet and closest aides position themselves ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
"Rubio and Vance are leaking to the WSJ and NYT like crazy. Distancing themselves for 2028," Vigeland wrote in a social media post.
"NYT emphasized that Rubio told Trump about Huang and the spy, but Trump let him on the plane anyway. The China hawk angle. Vance's alleged resistance to the Iran War is repeatedly noted," she added.
Trump gave Vance a new assignment this week.
In a Truth Social post, the president announced he told Vance to “focus” his “complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States,” claiming, without providing evidence, that “Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month.”
