JD Vance made his opinions about the Jeffrey Epstein case quite clear before he became Donald Trump’s vice president. In 2021 he posted, “Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don’t talk about it.”
Later that year, he called on journalists to make as much noise as possible about Epstein and his clients, saying, “If you’re a journalist and you’re not asking questions about this case you should be ashamed of yourself. What purpose do you even serve?”
