Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has suggested that Vice President JD Vance may be the primary source of leaks within Donald Trump's administration. During an appearance on the Legal AF podcast, Lemon referenced reports indicating that Trump has expressed frustration over leaks, including details regarding a situation involving Jeffrey Epstein. Lemon's comments were based on insights from a forthcoming book titled 'Regime Change' by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which discusses power dynamics during Trump's second term. He noted that Vance often appears favorably in insider accounts, particularly regarding Trump's decision-making on military action in Iran. Lemon also acknowledged the possibility that Trump himself could be leaking information. He warned that the release of the book might provoke a strong reaction from the Trump administration, potentially leading to legal actions against those involved in the leaks. The Daily Beast has sought comments from the White House regarding these claims.
