New reporting says Susie Wiles spoke at length with a Vanity Fair journalist and made candid remarks about Donald Trump, including calling him "the personality of an alcoholic," after a longer Vanity Fair profile earlier this week detailed her interviews and fraught episodes inside the West Wing.The profile, based on extensive on-the-record interviews by Chris Whipple and photography by Christopher Anderson, traced Wiles's rise from post-presidency fundraiser to chief of staff and recounted an Oval Office argument involving Volodymyr Zelensky, JD Vance and Scott Bessent, as well as a mistaken deportation to Honduras that later drew public concern.Trump and allies including
Donald Trump Jr.,
Karoline Leavitt and
JD Vance defended Wiles while critics, human rights groups and some lawmakers pressed questions about U.S. strikes linked to dozens of deaths, policy decisions toward
Venezuela and broader concerns about stability in the
White House.
