Vance, Oz chuckle about CNN, Politico ban during fraud event
The judge said the ban was likely unconstitutional after the outlets sued over a White House move that affected press access for three news organizations.
- On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance joked about the absence of CNN and Politico while appearing at a fraud task force event with Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
