EXCLUSIVE — Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump‘s 2020 campaign manager, rejected criticism raised by Vice President JD Vance, alleging that the Israeli government specifically asked him to orchestrate an American influence campaign to undermine diplomatic negotiations with Iran.

Vance, who until recently had been leading the Trump administration’s peace talks with Iran, said on The Joe Rogan Experience that Parscale’s firm, Clock Tower X, had contracted with the Israeli government to operate a “very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal.”
