Senators Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse sent a letter to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles seeking explanation for her statements about having read Jeffrey Epstein files that reference President Trump. The senators cited Wiles' Vanity Fair comments verifying that Trump appeared on an Epstein plane and was listed on a manifest. The letter asks six specific questions about what materials she saw, whether materials had been presented to a grand jury, when and why she accessed the files, whether she shared information with the president, and her role in any review or release processes involving DOJ or FBI. A response was requested by January 5, 2026.
