During a damage-control podcast interview aired on his 40th birthday Friday, J.D. Vance revealed how he became Donald Trump’s running mate. And talk about weird: the crazy questions that came from a lawyer who vetted him.
Vance said the lawyer showed up at his house to talk to him and his wife, Usha, while his kids were asleep upstairs. “He goes, ‘Do you have any secret family?’” Vance recalled. “‘And I’m like, are you serious? Do I have any secret family? Like what do you mean?’
The agent, according to Vance, said, "Well sometimes people will have another spouse and they’ll have other kids in a place like Alaska.’"
