White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles attacked Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein case, denied claims of a client list, and called the Vanity Fair profile a misleading hit piece.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case in a Vanity Fair interview, saying Bondi failed to recognize its political significance and distributed binders with no new information. Wiles described President Trump as having “an alcoholic’s personality,” a term she linked to high-functioning traits despite his teetotaling, and labeled Vice President JD Vance a “conspiracy theorist.” She defended Trump’s leadership, denied any involvement in Epstein’s alleged crimes, and said military actions against drug boats off Venezuela were aimed at pressuring President Maduro. Wiles called the profile a “disingenuously framed hit piece,” claiming it omitted context and misrepresented her comments. The Justice Department faces a Friday deadline to release Epstein-related documents under a law signed by Trump.
