The Bulwark: Is JD Vance Leaking To The New York Times?




Jun 10, 2026 Bulwark Takes

Sam Stein, Tim Miller, and Sonny Bunch give their takes on the New York Times bombshell surrounding the Trump White House’s frantic effort to manage the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The only consistent goal was protecting Donald Trump from whatever the files might say.

Also a story about Vance getting a peace deal with Iran and Trump shooting it down with new last-minute demands.

Vance sees the writing on the wall and is positioning himself to be the alternative Trump.

Too late, JD. You've got shit all over your shoes and everyone can smell it.
