Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump, told Politico’s Playbook Deep Dive podcast that Barron “has been very involved in selecting or recommending, I should say, some of the podcasts that we should do.” Miller added: “I have to tell you, hats off to the young man. Every recommendation he has had has been an absolute gold mark that has broken the internet. He has done a great job.”
