Vance was the source of the leak that cost Politico its credential

According to Status, Vice President J.D. Vance was the "senior administration official" cited by Politico in an article about U.S.-Iran talks. The White House cited that article as one reason for revoking Politico's credential. Revealing the source's identity puts the matter in a new light — the White House punished an outlet for publishing information its own vice president provided.
