"This was one of those cases as a reporter in your career when lightning strikes, and it was astonishing to me the extent to which she was unguarded and freewheeling on the record all the time."
"Everything in the article was on the record. I recorded every interview."
"Yeah, everything is on tape."
"There isn't a single fact or a single assertion that they've challenged in the piece. It really reminds me of the Watergate days when Ben Bradlee talked about non-denial denial. So this is the ultimate non-denial denial."
Chris Whipple said he recorded every interview with Susie Wiles and that all on-the-record remarks are on tape, including phone calls. He described Wiles as unusually unguarded across 11 in-depth on-the-record interviews and enthusiastic about participating. Whipple contrasted that openness with his experience covering the Biden administration, where quotes were often off-the-record and required approval. He insisted that everything was presented in context and that no fact or assertion from his reporting has been challenged. Whipple also said he interviewed members of Wiles' inner circle—JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller—and that those interviews were taped and on the record.
