Trump Assigns JD Vance to Investigate Corruption in Democratic-Led States
President Donald Trump has directed Vice President JD Vance to focus on alleged crime and corruption in Democratic-led cities and states, including Minnesota, California, and Illinois.

He also declared that a new deal with Iran is unnecessary, citing financial leverage and strategic control. Vance, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, has distanced himself from Trump's Iran policy following recent election outcomes.
