One of President Donald Trump’s top administration allies has been “thrown in front of the bus,” according to his longtime biographer, with a bombshell new report making them look like a “dope” acting counter to the president’s interests.<\/p>\n

The New York Times this week released a major new report, culled from an upcoming book two of its reporters wrote about the second Trump administration, revealing the panicked reactions that top figures in the Trump administration had to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, once it was clear to them that the president appeared in the files related to his crimes numerous times, and in damaging ways.<\/p>\n

Among those figures was Vice President JD Vance, who is depicted in the report as wanting to go the route of full transparency, believing that Trump would be fine with certain salacious allegations coming to light, despite how testy he had been with staffers about the subject. He also offered to do interviews about the situation, as part of an effort to be open about the files. These suggestions from Vance were largely dismissed by the rest of the administration, who strained for ways to protect Trump at all costs while feeding the MAGA base’s demand for Epstein disclosure.<\/p>\n

Michael Wolff, a longtime reporter and author who had extensive access to Trump and his inner circle throughout his political career, said during the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, “Inside Trump’s Head,” that Vance was obviously being set up as some sort of scapegoat, given how poorly he came off in the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore interesting, probably than what it says about Epstein, is JD Vance, who is really dumped… thrown in front of the bus here,\u201d Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. \u201cI mean, he looks like a dope. He\u2019s described as panicking. Every adjective connected to him makes him seem like… he is, A,… not on the president\u2019s side, and B, that he has no idea what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coles countered that the report seemed to make Vance look better, like he “understood the enormity of the Epstein files,\u201d and that he was \u201ctrying to get the Epstein files out there to pretend that the government was transparent.\u201d Wolff further argued that the insiders who talked with reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan were more so attempting to make the vice president look out of step with Trump’s plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cJD Vance was not on Donald Trump\u2019s side here,\u201d Wolff said, adding that \u201cthis is all an audience-of-one thing.\u201d <\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cAnd remember, Donald Trump\u2019s side is very clearly, \u2018There is nothing her … Why is anyone talking about Epstein? I don\u2019t want to hear it. If you\u2019re talking about it, you\u2019re my enemy, not my friend. So the White House is throwing JD Vance over the side, that\u2019s what\u2019s going on here.\u201d<\/p>\n
