Trump's chief of staff disputes Vanity Fair story in which she criticises Vance and Musk
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles disputes Vanity Fair article criticizing Trump administration, calling it chaotic and negative. Former President Trump defends Wiles, labeling her description of him as having an "alcoholic's personality" as a misunderstanding. Wiles, a key player in Trump's 2024 campaign, mentions retribution and Trump's pursuit of criminal cases against rivals in the interviews. Wiles is considered powerful in Trump's White House and credits her ability to work with him to her upbringing with an alcoholic father.
