Trump has 'an alcoholic's personality, chief of staff says in wide-ranging Vanity Fair interview. She calls it a 'hit piece' | Fortune
"Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump's understated but influential chief of staff, criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and broadly defended the president's aggressive second administration in a series of interviews published Tuesday in Vanity Fair. Wiles told the magazine in a wide-ranging, revealing series of conversations that she underestimated the scandal involving Epstein, the disgraced financier, but sharply criticized how Bondi managed the case and the public's expectations."
"disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history. Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story, I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team."
Wiles criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi's management of the Jeffrey Epstein case and acknowledged underestimating the scandal. She defended President Donald Trump's aggressive second administration agenda and described a willingness to continue strikes against alleged drug boats off Venezuela until Nicolas Maduro "cries uncle." Wiles called the published coverage unfair, labeling it a disingenuously framed hit piece and asserting that significant context was omitted. She said much of what she and others said about the team and the President was left out and suggested the coverage painted an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative. Wiles did not deny the comments attributed to her.
