According to New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, during an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” White House chief of staff Susie Wiles had to forcefully tell the veep that there was no way that everything was going to be released, including an “unsubstantiated” accusation that Vance insisted should be included.
Appearing on MS NOW to promote their “Regime Change” Trump administration tell-all being released on Tuesday, the pair of White House reporters were asked about the use of the Situation Room and why the secretive meetings were convened there.
“So this meeting comes to try to figure out how to deal with something they cannot get away with, and that Donald Trump keeps getting asked about it,” Haberman explained. “The problem for them is the President doesn’t want to hear Epstein, he would say, he would snap at anybody who would bring it up, and so they have several meetings in the Situation Room.”
“We capture just a few of them and the ones that we capture were almost exclusively about how to handle this in a way that deals with their boss, that protects him, that doesn’t stoke further conspiracies, that doesn’t hurt themselves, frankly, politically, so we describe,” she elaborated. “You know, this is a huge meeting. The first one that we describe it’s the vice president, it is the White House chief of staff, it is the attorney general, the deputy attorney general, White House counsel, comms officials. I mean. The list is long and they are talking about what to do now.”
“Deputy White House Chief of Staff James Blair, says something to the effect of, with all due respect, it’s the comms strategy of this group that got us into this, and you know there needs to be an actual plan here on how to how to get out of this,” she added.

” JD Vance, the whole time, wanted to release everything, including unsubstantiated Information, including unsubstantiated information about Donald Trump,” she continued to explain as co-host Joe Scarborough interrupted and pointed out, “Which was abusing a woman.”
“There was a second-hand allegation that was, I want to be clear, was already public,” Haberman replied.
“And I want to be clear that I’m not saying he abused a woman,” Scarborough pointed out. “What I’m saying is, what shocked me was that JD Vance had this unsubstantiated charge of Donald Trump abusing a minor and told Susie Wiles in the group, in your book, told Susan Wiles, ‘Oh, we need to release it all, he’ll be fine releasing it,’ and Susie was, ‘No, he won’t.’”
“Yeah, and that’s just one of the moments of many where JD Vance seems to be strangely disconnected from Donald Trump inside this book,” Scarborough observed.
