Summary
Donald holds an Oval Office presser to formally give JD Vance control of a nationwide “anti-fraud task force” aimed squarely at Democratic-led states that didn’t back him in 2024, signing an executive order putting Vance in charge of investigating what the White House calls widespread fraud across the country. But the presser goes off the rails when reporters press him on the war in Iran.
