A secret meeting at Rupert Murdoch’s Montana ranch? Reports indicate Vice President JD Vance and his wife flew into Butte aboard Air Force Two on June 11th. The plane stayed on the ground from around 2:30pm to nightfall. The Associated Press reports Vice President Vance spoke with 94-year-old Murdoch (owner of the Wall Street Journal), his son Lachlan Murdoch and other Fox News executives, though the nature of the conversation wasn’t shared. After the meeting, the vice president and his wife enjoyed on a short hike. Just a few weeks later, the Wall Street Journal published a salacious birthday note said to have been written by Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, with a drawing of a naked lady and wishes for daily secrets. Now, Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal and those associated with the story for $10 billion. So what was VP Vance doing at Murdoch’s Montana Ranch and what went down at that meeting?
We’ll talk about it with iHeartRadio and TV political analyst Gary Dietrich.
