Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson's son has stepped down from his White House role as tensions between his father and President Donald Trump continue to escalate, Wonderwall.com can report. Buckley Carlson, who served as deputy press secretary to Vice President J.D. Vance, has left his position to launch a political consulting firm, according to a report from Politico. While Buckley's departure comes at a particularly heated moment in his father's feud with the commander-in-chief, officials insist the move had been in the works for months.
