Throughout the year, Vanity Fair writer Chris Whipple interviewed some of the people closest to President Trump. We speak with Whipple about his talks with White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles looks on during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump and members of Trump's Cabinet at the White House on Oct. 17, in Washington.
Whipple said the piece is based on 11 in-depth, on-the-record interviews over the past year, with an extraordinary level of access to Susie Wiles."Every once in a while in the course of your career as a reporter, lightning strikes," Whipple told NPR.In Whipple's reporting, Wiles doled out criticism for multiple colleagues in and around the White House – including saying Attorney General Pam Bondi"completely whiffed" on her handling of the Epstein files, and calling Vice President J.D. Vance a"conspiracy theorist," among other characterizations. Whipple's profile showed Wiles was equally blunt about her boss, describing President Donald Trump as having"an alcoholic's personality," a characterization Trump, who does not drink, later echoed himself toon X, calling the profile a"disingenuously framed hit piece" and arguing it painted"an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team."that Wiles' response stood out precisely because it avoided disputing the substance of the reporting."Not a single fact in the piece has been contested," Whipple said.The best books of 2025 KPBS keeps you informed with local stories you need to know about — with no paywall.
