A profile of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, authored by Chris Whipple for Vanity Fair, was published following 11 on-the-record interviews conducted over the past year. Whipple stated that his reporting involved extensive access to Wiles. The article attributed several statements to Wiles regarding her colleagues. These included a characterization of Attorney General Pam Bondi as having "completely whiffed" on the handling of Epstein files, and a description of Vice President J.D. Vance as a "conspiracy theorist." Additionally, Wiles was quoted describing President Donald Trump as having "an alcoholic's personality." President Trump, who publicly states he does not consume alcohol, later commented on this characterization to another news outlet, stating, "She's right. I do have an obsessive and addictive personality." On Tuesday, Wiles posted on the social media platform X, stating that the profile was a "disingenuously framed hit piece." She further argued that the article presented "an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team." In response to Wiles' statement, Whipple commented that her pushback did not dispute the factual content of the reporting. He asserted that no facts within the piece had been contested.
