How incompetent is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, at passing as a relatable, likable royal? Let's put it this way: Her new Netflix show, which promises an "at home with Meghan" cooking experience, was not filmed at her own home, but at a rented home two miles away. And that's just the...

Just days before taking the oath of office, incoming Vice President JD Vance appeared on Fox News for an interview during which the topic of President Trump’s expected Jan. 6 pardons. Although he affirmed that many individuals convicted for peacefully protesting should be pardoned, he went on to argue that there are “obviously” some who should not. As the Associated Press reported through its typically anti-Trump lens: Vice President-elect JD Vance says people responsible for the violence during the Capitol riot “obviously” should not be pardoned, as President-elect Donald Trump is promising to use his clemency power on behalf of many of those who tried on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the results of the election that Trump lost. Vance insisted in an interview on “Fox News Sunday” that the pardon question is “very simple,” saying those who “protested peacefully” should be pardoned and “if you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.” He later said there was a “bit of a gray area” in some cases. More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the siege that left more than 100 police officers injured and sent lawmakers running into hiding as they met to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. His equivocal tone sparked almost immediate backlash from some pro-Trump sources: Video gets released of cops shooting innocent J6 protesters and @JDVance goes on Fox News and tells the world that only non violent protesters should get pardoned Better rethink what you just said JD https://t.co/HOscppr529 — Hodgetwins (@hodgetwins) January 12, 2025 JD VANCE: Those on Jan. 6th, 2021 who acted violently “obviously” should not be pardoned pic.twitter.com/agtvf94w4u — The Dibster (@richarddibX) January 12, 2025 Vance did respond to the criticism in an effort to defend himself: First of all, I donated to the to the J6 political prisoner fund and got ROASTED for it during my senate race. I’ve been defending these guys for years. Second, there were federal informants in the crowd. Do they get a pardon? I don’t think so. The president saying he’ll look at… https://t.co/MDUWkd37fP — JD Vance (@JDVance) January 12, 2025 It wasn’t enough to quell the concerns of some skeptics: JD Vance said: “If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.” That’s wrong. There’s nothing “obvious” about it. Nobody received a fair trial. You weren’t talking about informants. It was a Pence like moment. — Joseph Pino (@JosephPino_) January 12, 2025 But others were willing to give Vance the benefit of the doubt based on some of his previous actions: You’ve helped the J6 patriots quite a bit from day 1. We still think Trump should pardon everyone involved because the FBI was pushing and encouraging much of what was happening that day. FBI had agents that were knee deep in the conspiracy! — Angry Trumper (@AngryTrumper) January 12, 2025 Trump has vowed to make pardoning Jan. 6 defendants a priority upon entering office, though he has also expressed the need to evaluate the merits of each case. As Fox News reported: “If you protested peacefully on January 6th, and you’ve had Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned,” Vance told Fox News’ Shannon Bream during an exclusive one-on-one interview that aired Sunday. “If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned, and there’s a little bit of a gray area there, but we’re very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. And there are a lot of people, we think, in the wake of January the 6th who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that.” Trump previously pledged to pardon Jan. 6 protesters on day one of his incoming administration, telling NBC’s Kristen Welker last month that people on the Jan. 6 committee in Congress belonged in jail instead. “I’m going to look at everything. We’ll look at individual cases,” Trump told Welker as he spelled out his plans. “But I’m going to be acting very quickly.” Here’s a clip from Vance’s new Fox News interview:

Since securing a commanding victory in November’s election, President Donald Trump has been peppering the public with his picks to serve in key administration roles. Over the course of Saturday night, he rattled off a number of new White House aide nominees via his Truth Social platform. According to The Hill: Early in the evening, the incoming president said Steven Gill Bradbury would serve as the next deputy secretary of transportation. “For the entirety of my First Term, Steven served as the General Counsel of the Department of Transportation, where he helped rebuild our crumbling Infrastructure, and cut regulations that were killing jobs and our incredible Small Businesses,” Trump wrote in the post, noting that he previously clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Bradbury will serve alongside Secretary of Transportation nominee Sean Duffy pending Senate confirmation. Moments after the transportation announcement, Trump said Katharine MacGregor would serve as the next deputy secretary of the interior. “Katharine is currently Vice President of Environmental Services at NextEra Energy, Inc., and previously worked at the Department of the Interior during my first four years as President,” the incoming president stated. Several other nominees soon surfaced: I am pleased to announce that David Fotouhi will serve as the next Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. David worked at the EPA for the entirety of my First Term, concluding his service as EPA’s Acting General Counsel.

Paul also… — Donald J. Trump Posts From His Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) January 11, 2025 Trump’s latest batch of nominees comes as Senate confirmation hearings are begin scheduled for those picked to serve in applicable administration roles. According to the Associated Press: After the initial crush of personnel announcements for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration, now the nominations process officially begins. Senate hearings are scheduled this coming week for several of Trump’s picks for the Cabinet. Many have met with senators individually. Now, they will go before the committees overseeing the agencies that Trump wants them to run. At least a few of Trump’s earlier picks have received some bipartisan support, including from Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). As Fox News reported last month: Trump has tapped Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Hegseth to serve as secretary of defense, and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for the role of director of national intelligence. While Fetterman has previously noted that he plans to support Stefanik, it is unclear whether he will ultimately back Hegseth and Gabbard for confirmation. Fox News Digital reached out to request comment from the senator, but a spokesperson did not provide any additional insight into Fetterman’s voting plans regarding Hegseth and Gabbard. Fetterman has been unflinching in his staunch support for Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack against the U.S. ally. “Always was a hard YES for @EliseStefanik but it was a pleasure to have a conversation. I support defunding UNRWA for its documented Hamas infiltration and fully look forward to her holding the @UN accountable for its endemic antisemitism and blatant anti-Israel views,” Fetterman declared in a post earlier this month. He has also pledged to support Sen. Marco Rubio’s confirmation to serve as secretary of state. Sean Spicer, who served as Trump’s first White House press secretary, recently predicted that all of the nominees will eventually be confirmed by the GOP-led Senate.
