On this Special Report, the focus is on US Vice President J.D. Vance’s dismissal of reports suggesting a rift within the administration regarding the recent operation in Venezuela. Addressing a White House press conference, Vance refuted claims that he and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Chief Tulsi Gabbard were excluded from the planning stages of the mission to capture Nicolas Maduro. Vance stated, 'One, that I was kept out of the planning for the Venezuela operation, that's false. And another, that Tulsi was kept out of the planning for Venezuela operations, that's completely false.' He emphasised that the operation was kept 'very tight' among senior cabinet officials to maintain secrecy. The Vice President’s remarks come after a Bloomberg report suggested Gabbard’s past non-interventionist stance led to her being sidelined. Vance clarified that Gabbard played a crucial role in overseeing the intelligence flow from the ODNI to the President, confirming the administration's unified front during the high-stakes operation.
