"We’re all going to get fired for this!” one of Trump’s cabinet members said, according to Vanity Fair, shortly after seven of Trump’s top officials filed into a White House room “a bit like nervous schoolchildren.” “Except for me!” Vance apparently quipped in response. “I have 100% job security!”

The Trump administration continues to face fallout from Vanity Fair’s reporting Tuesday, which, in addition to a batch of new photographs of top Trump officials, also included stunning remarks from White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles that criticized Vance and other top White House officials, as well as undercut Trump’s past statements over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
