JD Vance Made a Brief Trip to Montana to Speak to Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, Sources Say
- On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance visited a property owned by the Murdoch family in southwestern Montana to meet with Rupert Murdoch, his son Lachlan, and several Fox News leaders.
- The visit followed Rupert Murdoch's 2023 step down as Fox News and News Corp head, with his son Lachlan now in control of these media outlets.
- Vance's plane flew from Joint Base Andrews and landed in Amarillo earlier that day before traveling to Montana, where state Auditor James Brown helped arrange and escort the trip.
- The meeting, described as secret and involving multiple Fox News leaders, occurred about 2,200 miles from Washington, D.C., and lasted only a few hours before Vance returned.
- This engagement highlights ongoing ties between GOP figures and the Murdoch media empire amid continuing media criticism from President Trump toward outlets like the Wall Street Journal.
