White House chief of staff Susie Wiles has admitted that Donald Trump appears in the Epstein files in a staggering tell-all interview.
‘[Trump] is in the file. And we know he’s in the file. And he’s not in the file doing anything awful,’ she told Vanity Fair.
Wiles added that Trump ‘was on [Epstein’s] plane… he’s on the manifest. They were, you know, sort of young, single, whatever—I know it’s a passé word but sort of young, single playboys together.’
It has previously been reported that Trump appeared on the flight logs, primarily on domestic flights between Palm Beach and New York in the early 1990s.
Wiles is facing a brutal fallout on Tuesday after the publication of the Vanity Fair piece in which she made several eyebrow-raising statements, including likening the president to her alcoholic father and branding JD Vance a ‘conspiracy theorist.’
The chief of staff was in damage control mode as the story appeared to have caught her on her heels.
‘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 on X.
‘Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story.’
