He’s keeping it under his vest

Vanity Fair reporter Emily Jane Fox was talking about Michael Cohen, and what he may have on Trump. She then uttered this beauty. It is a congruent conflation of “close to the chest” and “under wraps” (to keep one’s plans secret from others). The vest/chest rhyme and close/under words probably contributed to the mix up. A big thanks to “Eagle-Ear” Frank King for hearing yet another one on MSNBC, your malaphor channel.
