雅各布·雷塞斯获得白宫核心高层的高度赞誉
2026年6月11日 美国东部时间11:05 / 福克斯新闻网
福克斯新闻数字频道周四获悉，副总统JD·万斯的办公厅主任即将离任该职位。
雅各布·雷塞斯将于今夏正式离职。雷塞斯与万斯共事多年，曾在万斯2022年参议院竞选活动中发挥关键作用。
万斯在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示：“雅各布在我整个公共生涯中始终陪伴在我身边。我无法想象在这段改变人生的旅程中没有他会是怎样。从我当选参议员的第一天起，我再也找不到比他更忠诚、更有洞察力的顾问和朋友来担任我的办公厅主任。”
“我会非常想念他，但他不会离我太远，我打算继续向他征询意见，直到我们再次携手同行，”他补充道。
明尼苏达州欺诈报告指控州检察长“不作为、故意视而不见或更甚”
雷塞斯的离职消息传出后，多位白宫高层官员对其予以赞扬，其中包括白宫办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯、国务卿马可·卢比奥、司法部长托德·布兰奇、财政部长斯科特·贝森特等人。
“雅各布为副总统和整个本届政府履职出色。他深知我们所处的时代，每天都在为总统的目标奋力争取成果。他的才智、领导力和幽默感将让人怀念，”卢比奥说道。
特朗普特使史蒂夫·维特科夫称雷塞斯是“厉害角色”。
此次离职消息传出之际，正值万斯将涉及明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔茨和明尼苏达州总检察长基思·埃利森的指控移交司法部欺诈部门，以启动潜在刑事调查仅数日。
万斯是在做客福克斯新闻《杰西·沃特特斯黄金时段》节目时宣布这一决定的，当时他被问及众议院监督委员会发布的一份报告。该报告称，包括瓦尔茨和埃利森在内的州官员曾收到该州存在欺诈行为的警告，但部分出于诉讼威胁和被指控歧视的顾虑，未采取行动制止欺诈。
报告指控：明尼苏达州纳税人资金被转移至青年党恐怖组织
“我们当然会对此展开调查，杰西，我想现在我可以公布一则突发新闻了——为了来这里接受你的采访，我特意离开了白宫。在来之前，我们已经将这起具体案件移交司法部，启动全面刑事调查。我们不会像拜登政府那样，在所有事实都水落石出之前就做出法律裁决，”万斯说道。

“但让我尤其感到不安的是，杰西，瓦尔茨州长办公室内部有人曾表示，这看起来就是欺诈行为。这些索马里非法移民的所作所为非常可疑，但随后有人出面制止了他们，压制了这些吹哨人，并称质疑纳税人资金去向的人是种族主义者或排外分子，”他继续说道。

Vice President JD Vance’s chief of staff set to depart White House role
Jacob Reses received huge praise from the biggest players in the White House

Vice President JD Vance’s chief of staff is set to depart his role, Fox News Digital learned Thursday.
Jacob Reses is set to formally leave his role by the end of summer. Reses worked with Vance for years and played a key role in Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign.
“Jacob’s been by my side for my whole career in public life. I can’t imagine having been on this life-changing journey without him. From day one of my time as a Senator-elect, I could not have asked for a more loyal and discerning advisor and friend as my chief of staff,” Vance said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“I’ll miss him dearly, but he won’t be far, and I plan to keep his counsel close until our paths cross again,” he added.

Reses received praise from a litany of top White House officials upon news of his departure, including White House chief of staff Suzie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney Gen. Todd Blanche, Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent and others.
“Jacob has served the Vice President and the entire administration with distinction. He understands the moment we’re in and he spent every day fighting to deliver results for the President. His intellect, leadership, and humor will be missed,” Rubio said.
Trump envoy Steve Witkoff called Reses “a killer.”

News of the departure comes just days after Vance referred allegations involving Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to the Justice Department’s fraud division for a potential criminal investigation.
Vance made the announcement during an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” when he was asked about a report released by the House Oversight Committee alleging that state officials, including Walz and Ellison, were warned of fraud in the state but did not take action to stop it in part because of litigation threats and concerns about being accused of discrimination.

“We’re certainly going to investigate this, Jesse, and I guess now I can make a bit of breaking news because I left the White House to come here to do this interview with you. And before I did, we actually referred this particular case to the Department of Justice for a full criminal investigation. We are not going to do what the Biden administration did and make judgments of the law before all the facts are in,” Vance said.

“But here’s what’s particularly troubling about this to me is, Jesse, you had people within Governor Walz’s office who were saying, you know what? This looks like fraud. It looks like these Somalian illegal immigrants are doing something that’s very shady, and then you had people who shut them down, who shut these whistleblowers down and said, you know, you’re a racist or you’re a xenophobe for asking questions about where taxpayer money is going,” he continued.
