US Vice President Vance said he had been publicly and privately “joking” with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wells about various conspiracy theories for a long time. Vance was asked how he viewed the “Vanity Fair” interview with Wells; the interview report said that Wells called Vance a “conspiracy theorist.” At an event in Pennsylvania, he said, “If any of us learn a lesson from that Vanity Fair article, I hope this lesson is: we should be less likely to be interviewed by mainstream media.” Vance said he knows Wells very well and has never seen Wells go against President Trump's will.
