Trump announces campaign manager Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff

Source: CNN

Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his campaign manager, Susie Wiles, will be named his White House chief of staff.

"Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns," the president-elect said in a statement.

"Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud," Trump added.

CNN reported earlier Thursday that Wiles was considered the front-runner for the job but had some reservations about the role and had expressed to Trump certain conditions before she accepted, a source said. At the top of the list was more control over who can reach the president in the Oval Office.

Wiles was reportedly shown a classified map by Trump during a meeting at his New Jersey golf club after he left office. She met with federal investigators multiple times as part of the special counsel’s probe into the handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago. Though not named in Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump, she has been identified by sources as the “representative of his political action committee” referenced in the indictment. Prosecutors have questioned Wiles about whether Trump showed her classified documents, including a map and documents related to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley. The indictment details that Trump showed a classified map to a representative without security clearance and mentioned it should not be seen.

I'm shocked by that, and shocked again looking at her picture.

that should've been us.

I'm hopeful the age factor will kick in soon
