Vice President J.D. Vance and President Donald Trump all repeated Noem's talking points, with Vance accusing the media of lying about the incident.

Politico reported Friday that "even supporters of the president" are afraid the aggressive approach "risks undermining public confidence in the ongoing investigation."
