\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n JD Vance<\/strong><\/a>, the Vice President, made an appearance on The View <\/em><\/strong>today (June 16), and was grilled on the Epstein Files by the co-hosts.<\/p>\n One thing he did confirm: he is a conspiracy theoriest. This is something that Susie Wiles<\/strong>, Trump\u2019s Chief of Staff, said about him in a viral article.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI am frankly kind of a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff, and that story says that. That\u2019s one of the things that\u2019s true, is that some people called me a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff,\u201d Vance <\/strong>said. \u201cI love Susie, but absolutely, she thinks I\u2019m a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff, because I think that it\u2019s crazy that you have this guy who is clearly a sex predator who is hanging out with a lot of very wealthy and powerful people. Like that really bothered me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to have full transparency,\u201d he added. \u201cWhat I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn\u2019t committed to full transparency. We need to remember, like, I was inside the room when some of these decisions were made.\u201d<\/p>\n He also defended Trump<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI do have to defend my boss, I know you guys don\u2019t always appreciate this, but you know one of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump, and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police. That\u2019s one of the things that came out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Vance <\/strong>also said Trump was \u201cfrustrated\u201d that some Democrats were linking him with Epstein<\/strong>.<\/p>\n SUNNY HOSTIN: Mr. Vice President, according to a new report from The New York Times<\/em>, you were the leading voice behind the scenes to release the Epstein files. And we applaud you for that. And you warned top officials, including top DOJ officials at strategy meetings taking place inside the Situation Room, we understand there are tapes of those meetings, that this was a huge problem for the base. The report says you even floated having Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell to clear the president\u2019s name. But you were rebuffed by your people. Why?<\/p>\n VANCE: I would say first of all, don\u2019t believe everything that you read in any newspaper whether it\u2019s a right-leaning paper or a left-leaning paper, because as you guys know-<\/p>\n HOSTIN: Is any of it true?<\/p>\n VANCE: Well, there are things that are true, things that are false, and things that are totally missing context.<\/p>\n HOSTIN: What part of it is true?<\/p>\n VANCE: Here\u2019s what I\u2019ll say: So, number one, I am frankly kind of a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff. And that story says that that\u2019a one of the things that\u2019s true is that some people called me a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff.<\/p>\n HOSTIN: Chief of Staff Susie Wiles calls you a conspiracy theorist.<\/p>\n VANCE: Now I love Susie, but absolutely. She thinks I\u2019m a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff because I think that it\u2019s crazy that you have this guy who is clearly a sex predator, who is hanging out with a lot of very wealthy and powerful people. That really bothered me. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s there, of course. Nobody knows exactly what happened unless you were there. But that really bothered me. And I wanted to have full transparency. But what I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn\u2019t committed to full transparency. You have to remember like I was inside the room when some of these decisions were made. The Epstein files Transparency Act, the one that the president signed, the one that led to all these files that you were seeing these emails\u2026 Sorry, Joy, I do have to defend my boss. I know you guys don\u2019t always appreciate this. One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Epstein hated Donald Trump<\/strong>. And that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police. That\u2019s one of the things that came out of these files.<\/p>\n ANA NAVARRO: They were best friends for about decade. And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, congresswomen like Lauren Boebert<\/strong>, like Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/strong>, did not give into his pressure of not signing. He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill.<\/p>\n VANCE: So let me respond to that.<\/p>\n HOSTIN: That\u2019s all true.<\/p>\n VANCE: Let me respond to that. Number one is, yes, Donald Trump said this. He knew Jeffrey Epstein in the 1980s. He threw Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police. That\u2019s something that the media often misses when it reports this story. They tell the fact they knew each other in the 80s, which the president himself admits. They ignore the fact that he narc\u2019d on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s downfall. To that point, Ana, you know the Republican party-<\/p>\n HOSTIN: I don\u2019t know if that led to his downfall.<\/p>\n VANCE: Well, it\u2019s one of the things that led to a law enforcement investigation.<\/p>\n NAVARRO: It was allegedly over a real estate deal they got into a fight over. Let\u2019s be truthful and transparent. They didn\u2019t just know each other. They didn\u2019t just know each other. They were incredibly close friends.<\/p>\n JOY BEHAR: He\u2019s in a lot of pictures<\/p>\n VANCE: He reported him to the police. That is objectively true. But Ana made another point. Whoopi, if I may, because Ana made an important point. This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans? You know the Republican party probably better than I do. The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen as opposed to the other way around, is kind of crazy. Because the Republicans control the house and senate, particularly the senate, you need the Republican sign-off. What the president did\u2026I will say this. Again, I was in there in the meetings. He was very frustrated that the Democrats were making this about him when he is like, I threw the guy out of my club. I\u2019m the guy who reported him to the police or one of the people who reported him to the police. The president was frustrated about that. Absolutely. But he eventually came to say, \u201cYou know what, let\u2019s get everything out there. Let\u2019s have this out in the public. He actually called the senators. I was there. He called the senators and said, \u201cPass this bill. I will sign it\u201d and that was it.
