Overview
- Vanity Fair ran a long piece drawn from roughly a dozen interviews with the chief of staff, quoting her saying Trump "has the personality of an alcoholic."
- Wiles was quoted discussing prosecutions as partly driven by vengeance, citing an informal understanding to halt score‑settling after the first three months of the term.
- She was also reported saying Trump has no intention to run in 2028, adding he raises the idea to amuse himself and provoke critics.
- The profile quotes Wiles criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein records, as Congress moved to require the Justice Department to release non‑classified documents by mid‑December.
- After publication, Wiles denounced the article on X, and Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and senior officials publicly praised her and rejected the framing.
