Vanity Fair Profile of Susie Wiles
A recent profile in Vanity Fair, authored by Chris Whipple, features extensive interviews with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The article's content is derived from 11 on-the-record interviews conducted with Wiles over a one-year period.
Attributed Statements
Within the profile, Wiles is quoted making several specific statements regarding public figures:
- She characterized Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files as having "completely whiffed."
- She referred to Vice President J.D. Vance as a "conspiracy theorist."
- She described President Donald Trump as possessing "an alcoholic's personality."
President Trump subsequently commented on Wiles's characterization of his personality, reportedly stating to another news outlet, "She's right. I do have an obsessive and addictive personality."
Wiles's Response
Following the publication, Wiles issued a statement on X, describing the profile as a "disingenuously framed hit piece." She also asserted that the article presented "an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team."

Whipple later stated that Wiles's public response did not contest the factual accuracy of the reporting contained within the profile. He noted, "Not a single fact in the piece has been contested."
