White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Vanity Fair\u2019s Chris Whipple and defended White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in response to a story he wrote, chronicling interviews he\u2019s had with Wiles since early January, which has ignited a firestorm in American politics.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whipple says<\/a> he began speaking to Wiles \u201clittle more than a week before the inauguration,\u201d oftentimes on Sundays after church, and even once while she did laundry in her Washington, DC apartment.<\/p>\n

She reportedly discussed, as she put it, the President\u2019s \u201calcoholic\u2019s personality,\u201d Vice President Vance\u2019s \u201csort of political\u201d rise from\u00a0 Never Trump to MAGA and his decade-long streak of being a \u201cconspiracy theorist,\u201d as well as OMB Director Russ Vought\u2019s history as \u201ca right-wing absolute zealot,\u201d and Elon Musk\u2019s \u201cmicrodosing,\u201d among other things.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOver sandwiches from the White House Mess, we talked about the challenges Trump faces. Throughout the past year, Wiles and I have spoken regularly about almost everything: the contents, and consequences, of the\u00a0Epstein files; ICE\u2019s brutal\u00a0mass deportations; Elon Musk\u2019s\u00a0evisceration\u00a0of USAID; the controversial deployment of the\u00a0National Guard\u00a0to US cities; the\u00a0demolition\u00a0of the East Wing; the lethal strikes on boats allegedly being piloted by drug smugglers\u2014acts many have called war crimes; Trump\u2019s physical and mental\u00a0health; and whether he will defy the\u00a022nd Amendment and try to stay on for a third term,\u201d Whipple writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost senior White House officials parse their words and speak only on background. But over many on-the-record conversations, Wiles answered almost every question I put to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the article is undoubtedly a hit piece, this controversy was easily avoidable.<\/p>\n

During brief remarks to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Leavitt responded to the story, calling it \u201canother example of disingenuous reporting\u201d and claiming that Wiles\u2019s words were taken \u201cwildly out of context.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further guarded Wiles as \u201cincredible\u201d to President Trump and commended her \u201cability to effectuate [Trump\u2019s] agenda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

WATCH:<\/p>\n

\n

As for the Vanity Fair article, Michael, I\u2019ll take your question directly. This is, unfortunately, another example of disingenuous reporting, where you have a reporter who took the Chief of Staff\u2019s words wildly out of context, did not include the context those conversations were had within. And then further, I think the most egregious part of this article was the bias of omission that was clearly present, and we see a lot of this when dealing with the media every day\u2014 you will leave out important context, leave out comments and facts.<\/p>\n

You know, many people in this building spoke with that reporter, and those comments were never included in the story, probably because it didn\u2019t push this false narrative of chaos and confusion that the reporter was clearly trying to push. So, what I\u2019ll say about our Chief of Staff\u2014 as you\u2019ve seen from not just myself, but also the entire cabinet and a groundswell of support from people on Capitol Hill, who don\u2019t even work in this building\u2014 about how incredible Susie Wiles has been to President Trump. And he\u2019s been able to accomplish so much because of his leadership and his tenacity, but also because of Chief of Staff Wiles\u2019s leadership and her ability to effectuate his agenda.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Leavitt responded on X:<\/p>\n

\n

Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has helped President Trump achieve the most successful first 11 months in office of any President in American history.<\/p>\n

President Trump has no greater or more loyal advisor than Susie.<\/p>\n

The entire Administration is grateful for her steady leadership and united fully behind her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
