In-Town Pool Report #10: Event Ongoing

Vice President Vance tells pool that he accepts the title bestowed upon him by Democrats, saying "I like fraud czar."

On Iran, Vance says that he trusts POTUS' leadership on Operation Epic Fury, saying that "I trust President Trump to get the job done, to do a good job for the American people and to make sure the mistakes of the past aren't repeated."

Asked if he was briefed about possible Iranian strikes on nations like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, Trump says "nobody thought they were going to hit, I wouldn't say friendly countries, they were like neutral."

Trump says he left the Obama nuclear deal against the advice of his Secretary of State at the time who he adds "was no Marco."

POTUS is still speaking. It's live streamed. Check quotes against transcript.

Best,
