President Trump’s Cabinet officials defended White House chief of staff Susie Wiles following a Vanity Fair article that included her candid remarks about the president and his administration. Wiles described Trump as having “an alcoholic’s personality” and criticized other officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi. In response to the article, Wiles called it a “disingenuously framed hit piece,” while administration officials rallied to support her. The president has not commented, but Vance acknowledged the article’s claims about him, indicating that they often joked about such labels.
