‘Release Epstein files’, protester interrupts JD Vance’s speech

A demonstrator demanding the release of the Epstein files stepped onto the stage and halted U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s remarks at a North Carolina rally supporting Republican midterm candidates. During the event, Vance asserted that illegal border crossings had dropped to zero, then quipped that the activist must have been the one who “slipped through.” The interruption highlighted ongoing calls for transparency regarding the Epstein case.
