An irate Vice President JD Vance lashed out at reporters at a White House press briefing as he defended the Trump administration’s defense of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis one day earlier despite an ongoing investigation into the shooting by federal investigators.
Vance’s appearance in the White House briefing room Thursday was ostensibly to announce the creation of a new Associate Attorney General position charged with investigating fraudulent abuse of federal benefits of the kind that has rocked the Minnesota state government in recent weeks and forced Governor Tim Walz to drop his bid for a third term.
