WASHINGTON – One of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers said the nondrinking president has “an alcoholic’s personality,” that he’s in the Epstein files, that the vice president is a “conspiracy theorist” and their budget director is a “right-wing absolute zealot.”
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles made the shockingly candid statements in a series of interviews with Vanity Fair for a pair of articles published Tuesday.
Wiles dished on virtually everything that’s happened this year and apparently regrets how the article turned out, though she did not point to any errors.
“Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story,” Wiles said on social media. “I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team.”
In a statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt praised Wiles without trashing the story.
