WASHINGTON (AP) - 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 offered an unvarnished take on her boss and those in his orbit in a series of observations that were published Tuesday in Vanity Fair and immediately sent shock waves through Washington while sending the West Wing into damage control.
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles held nothing back in a series of on-the-record interviews with Vanity Fair in which she compared her boss's personality to that of an alcoholic, submitted that Vice President JD Vance has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade, accused Elon Musk of being an avowed ketamine and excoriated Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
I think she completely whiffed on appreciating that that was the very targeted group that cared about this, Wiles told Whipple, adding that they were binders full of nothingness. Wiles also addressed Bondi's insistence during a Fox News interview in February that Epstein's client list was on my desk right now, a claim that was later debunked by an FBI report that stated no such document existed.
