Epstein Files: US Vice President JD Vance breaks silence, calls out 'America's elites', defends Trump

Vice President JD Vance has finally addressed the recent release of files on convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein by the Department of Justice on January 30, 2026. He said the documents revealed the "incestuous nature of America's elites" and defended Trump's involvement in it, saying he was 'outside of the social circle'.

In a Daily Mail interview on February 3, 2026, he also weighed in on other figures connected to the files and called for further congressional action on them. He began by insisting that he would support bipartisan efforts to summon former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before US lawmakers and Congress, adding that the decision for the same would ultimately be made by congressional Republicans.
