Trump Cabinet secretaries race to put out statements supporting Susie Wiles
Almost all of President Donald Trump's Cabinet secretaries quickly released statements supporting White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles after she criticized them in an interview with Vanity Fair.
"The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history," Wiles wrote Tuesday on X. "None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!"
Many of the Cabinet secretaries quoted Wiles in responding.
"Susie is an exceptional Chief of Staff, and her tireless dedication, loyalty, and commitment to the President are beyond reproach. Powerful leadership often works quietly – never seeking credit and always relentlessly driving results. Our Chief exemplifies that," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote. "Our Administration is united under the leadership of President Trump, and Susie's extraordinary attention to detail, diligence, and dedication to our cause is at the center of our efforts."
"These inflammatory and outright false statements will not be tolerated," Energy Secretary Chris Wright agreed. "Susie Wiles isn't just an extraordinary strategist… she's sharp, authentic, and steady under pressure. She is one of the most competent, principled, and courageous leaders I have ever worked with, and I am honored to stand alongside her every day."
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer called Wiles "a great friend, mentor, and the architect behind President Trump's successful first months in office."
Education Secretary Linda McMahon insisted that Wiles was "a force of nature - the shrewdest and most loyal Chief of Staff."
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and FBI Director Kash Patel also expressed support.
"The radical left is at it again, trying to create discord on President Trump's team. It won't work because we know & love @SusieWiles," Duffy wrote.
