White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles called Trump “alcoholic” in tone, criticized Bondi and Musk, and defended her leadership amid internal rifts.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles gave a rare, candid interview to Vanity Fair, describing President Trump’s personality as “alcoholic” in tone, criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and expressing concern over Elon Musk’s erratic role in the government efficiency initiative. She acknowledged internal disagreements over tariffs, immigration enforcement, and foreign policy actions, including strikes against Venezuelan vessels, while defending her loyalty and leadership amid backlash. Despite calling the article a “disingenuously framed hit piece,” she did not dispute the reported details, and senior officials, including Trump and Vance, publicly defended her.
