AI Summary
5 min readVice President JD Vance has publicly thrown Donald Trump’s cabinet under the bus in a Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham, directly calling out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others who have attacked him over the Iran memorandum of understanding. The interview comes amid a cascade of leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times detailing a furious confrontation at Camp David where Trump learned the U.S. has critically depleted its interceptor missiles—Patriot PAC-3s, Standard Missiles, and anti-ballistic interceptors—leaving the military unable to escalate the war with Iran even if Trump wanted to. A top official in the room has been speaking to both papers, describing Hegseth blaming his deputy Steven Feinberg for the shortages and for not keeping Trump fully informed. The White House and Pentagon deny the account, but the leaks appear timed with Vance’s media offensive, suggesting a deepening rift inside the administration.
