He also threatened to sue the WSJ over a report alleging he sent a 'bawdy' birthday letter to the late sex offender in 2003.

JD Vance: The vice president tweeted that the Journal “should be ashamed for publishing” the report, calling it “complete and utter bullshit” while criticizing the paper for failing to publicize the letter or show it to the White House before writing about it. “Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?” Vance wrote.
