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.

“Donald Trump could very well be one of the people who leaked to” Haberman, Lemon admitted, adding that it’s possible Trump “doesn’t even realize it.”

However, he and Popok made the case for suspecting Vance is at least “the biggest source for people,” as Lemon put it.

“He looks good in the story, relatively,” Popok said, referring to the NY Times reporting on the Epstein freakout in the Situation Room. “Among the liars in the room, he looks like he’s the one that says, ‘let’s get the story out about Donald Trump’…I’m like, among those people in the room, that was like the best thing to say.”

Lemon pointed to reporting on the Iran war that also seemed to favor Vance.

“Remember, the reporting was that J.D. Vance was the only one in the room who was against it,” Lemon explained. “It’s like, well, how does J.D. Vance always come out looking better than anyone?”
