From Brian Krassenstein on the Xhitter:

BREAKING: Vanity Fair author Chris Whipple just revealed stunning details from his conversations with Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff.

Here’s what she told him:

- Wiles said she has read the Epstein documents and acknowledged that Trump’s name is in them.

- Wiles said she urged Trump NOT to pardon the most violent January 6 rioters. He ignored her advice.

- She admitted Trump is looking for retribution...“when there’s an opportunity, he will go for it.”

- She tried to convince Trump to stop “score-settling” against political enemies after 90 days in office. That effort failed because Trump’s desire for retribution never stopped.

- Wiles directly contradicted Trump’s claims about Bill Clinton, stating there is “no evidence” Clinton ever visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.

- She described Trump as having “an alcoholic’s personality.” Wiles said her ability to work with him comes from growing up with an alcoholic father, the sportscaster Pat Summerall.

- On Vice President JD Vance, Wiles said he has “been a conspiracy theorist for a decade,” and that his conversion from Trump critic to loyalist was political, driven by his Senate ambitions rather than principle.

- She described Elon Musk as “an avowed ketamine user,” “an odd, odd duck,” whose actions were often not “rational” and left her “aghast.”

- She called budget director Russell T. Vought a “right-wing absolute zealot.”

- Wiles defended USAID, saying that “anyone who has paid attention to government knows they do very good work.”

- She said Attorney General Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” the handling of the Epstein files, explaining:
“First she gave binders full of nothingness. Then she claimed the witness list or client list was on her desk. There is no client list — and it sure as hell wasn’t on her desk.”

- She said the administration needed to “look harder” at deportations to avoid mistakes.

- Referring to two mothers who were arrested and deported with their children after voluntarily attending routine immigration meetings, Wiles said:
“I can’t understand how you make that mistake — but somebody did.”

- She tried unsuccessfully to get Trump to delay major tariffs, citing a “huge disagreement” among his advisers.

- Wiles summed up Trump’s governing mindset this way:
He operates with a belief that there is nothing he can’t do. Nothing. Zero. Nothing.

Or course, the entire GOP is saying that these quotes were taken out of context.

Of course that's what they'd say.
