The White House has firmly denied a report from The New York Times which claimed that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles advised Vice President JD Vance to take a break from social media due to his frequent online confrontations with critics. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to the report on X, calling it 'complete fake news' and asserting that the alleged conversation never occurred. The Times article highlighted Vance's relationship with former President Donald Trump and his potential candidacy for the 2028 Republican nomination.
