WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, told Vanity Fair magazine in a dishy interview published Tuesday, Dec. 16, that she had a loose agreement with the president that he would not settle scores with his critics and political rivals after the first 90 days in office but she chose not to challenge him as he pushed forward with mounting investigations.
Wiles also offered the magazine candid assessments of top administration officials in the series of interviews that stretched over months.
Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” she said. Vice President JD Vance has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade,” she said. And Attorney General Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” in her initial release of documents about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, she said.
