JD Vance Clashes with CNN over Trump Allegations

In a heated CNN interview, Ohio Senator JD Vance criticized host Jake Tapper for focusing on allegations against former President Trump, arguing that the network's coverage lacked integrity, particularly regarding the Russia collusion narrative. Vance expressed frustration over CNN's discussions about Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, who labeled Trump a 'fascist' and claimed he admired Adolf Hitler. Vance accused Tapper of fixating on former Trump aides who criticized the ex-president after their dismissals, suggesting these narratives distract from pressing issues like high living costs affecting Americans. Tapper defended CNN's coverage by citing the FBI's investigation into the Russia allegations, which Vance countered as misrepresented by the media. Former Representative Liz Cheney also criticized Vance for his attacks on former Trump officials, highlighting ongoing intra-party tensions.
