Trump World defends Susie Wiles after Vanity Fair piece
Trump and allies praised Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to counteract Vanity Fair's negative portrayal and maintain administration unity, highlighting her effectiveness and loyalty.
- On Tuesday, Vanity Fair published the first part of a two-part story about Susie Wiles, and hours later President Donald Trump told The New York Post he wasn’t insulted by her description.
- Vanity Fair's story included Wiles making unflattering remarks about Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi, describing Vance as a longtime conspiracy theorist and criticizing Bondi's handling of Epstein files.
- Senior aides and Cabinet members posted forceful defenses, with Russell Vought calling Wiles 'an exceptional chief of staff' and Pete Hegseth asserting 'Susie is the most TRUSTED, most PROFESSIONAL & most EFFECTIVE Chief of Staff of my lifetime.'
- Wiles responded on X Tuesday, calling the article a disingenuously framed hit piece, while White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended her on Fox News and CBS News pressed Vanity Fair for interview transcripts.
- Nearly all of President Donald Trump's Cabinet quickly supported Wiles, whose profile includes Forbes' 2025 list honor earlier this month, while Elon Musk and Conde Nast/Vanity Fair did not respond.
