Vice President JD Vance dismissed reports that a meeting took place at his residence with top administration officials Thursday that involved discussions about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“There was no meeting at my house last night. There just wasn’t,” Vance told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“We did meet at the White House yesterday, but not at the time that they said that they — that we were going to meet and not about the subject that we — they said that we were going to meet about,” Vance said in the interview that was taped on Friday.

“We actually didn’t talk about the Epstein issue at all. That was never meant to be the subject of the meeting,” he continued.
Vance said the reports came from someone leaking a calendar entry in which they assumed that it was about Epstein.
Vance reiterated that Trump has called for full transparency, and efforts are underway to compile documents.
“On the Epstein issue, what the president has said very clearly, because we have had other meetings about that, is that he wants us to be fully transparent and he wants the credible information out there. So, we’re working to compile the thousands and thousands of documents that are out there for full transparency,” Vance said.
Vance said he supported the decision by Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton in its investigation of the Epstein files.
