Allegations of second gentleman Doug Emhoff slapping a former flame should be heavily investigated, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance says. “If you are a domestic abuser, that

usually doesn’t stop with one person,” Vance said on a three-hour-long “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast interview. “Is it in the public interest to do some investigation about whether,” he

asked, “the president could be sharing the White House with a person who was engaged in domestic abuse?” EXPLORE MORE The Ohio senator said that legacy media had so far been “totally

incurious” about the story, while pursuing every trail of breadcrumbs a new Trump accusation offers up. The Daily Mail last week interviewed the well-to-do Manhattan lawyer whom Emhoff

spin around, and I’m in utter shock.” “There had been no fight, no argument,” the woman, identified as Jane, went on. “In that moment, his mask had dropped and I saw his dark side.” “I’m

embarrassed and humiliated that this amazing experience turned into this violent spectacle,” she recalled thinking at the time. “I can’t believe he just slapped me. I think I said to him in

the car, ‘What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you do that?’ And the only thing I could get out of him was he thought I was hitting on the valet.’” Emhoff was unapologetic the following

day, she added, and even claimed they were “even” since she slapped him back. Three of her friends said they heard her retell the awful story, two of whom heard it between its occurrence and

2014 and another who heard it in 2018. Jane, who is apparently a Democratic donor and supported Joe Biden’s 2020 candidacy, said she’s watched Emhoff shockingly transform in the political

limelight into “the antithesis of who he actually is.” MSNBC host Jen Psaki even praised him in an interview as the “wife guy” that had “reshaped the perception of masculinity.” “What’s

frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,” Jane also told the Mail. A spokesperson for the second gentleman

claimed the story was entirely “false” and Emhoff dismissed the earlier accusations from Jane’s friends as “tabloid stories about your personal life.” “It’s all a distraction. It’s designed

to try to get us off our game,” he told MSNBC host Joe Scarborough in an interview earlier this month, without denying the allegations. Emhoff admitted in a statement to the press earlier

this year that his first marriage ended after he cheated on his wife, Kerstin Mackin, with Najen Naylor, the nanny of Emhoff’s daughter Ella. The affair resulted in Naylor becoming pregnant,

though she never had the baby. Naylor later signed an $80,000 nondisclosure agreement as part of a settlement, Jane told the Mail. Harris, 60, has never spoken about her husband’s allegedly

misogynistic streak — despite harping on her past experience as a prosecutor holding domestic abusers accountable. CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, CNN, the Washington Post and the New York

Times have yet to publish stories on the allegations.
