Nothing, zero, nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The president <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/16\/us-news\/trump-stands-by-chief-of-staff-susie-wiles-after-bombshell-vanity-fair-interviews-admits-he-has-alcoholics-personality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">told the New York Post<\/a> he hadn&#8217;t read the Vanity Fair piece, but said Wiles is &#8220;fantastic.&#8221; Mr. Trump also defended Wiles&#8217; description of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, she meant that I&#8217;m \u2014 you see, I don&#8217;t drink alcohol,&#8221; the president told the Post. &#8220;So everybody knows that \u2014 but I&#8217;ve often said that if I did, I&#8217;d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do. It&#8217;s a very possessive personality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued: &#8220;I&#8217;ve said that many times about myself. I&#8217;m fortunate I&#8217;m not a drinker. If I did, I could very well, because I&#8217;ve said that \u2014 what&#8217;s the word? Not possessive \u2014 possessive and addictive type personality. Oh, I&#8217;ve said it many times, many times before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wiles was also quoted as saying Vice President JD Vance has &#8220;been a conspiracy theorist for a decade,&#8221; and that Attorney General Pam Bondi &#8220;completely whiffed&#8221; on her handling of the Epstein files. She also criticized Elon Musk and the way the U.S. Agency for International Development was shuttered in the early months of the administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No rational person could think the USAID process was a good one,&#8221; she said in the story. &#8220;Nobody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SusieWiles\/status\/2000943061627548148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">post on X<\/a>, her first in more than a year, Wiles, 68, called the story a &#8220;disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/16\/39f49af2-daa6-44a2-b24d-6f192f68816f\/thumbnail\/620x413\/d3f5fe5bdeecceae19186f30f2a00bba\/ap25350529584783.jpg#\" alt=\"White House chief of staff Susie Wiles listens as President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House on Feb. 4, 2025. \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/16\/39f49af2-daa6-44a2-b24d-6f192f68816f\/thumbnail\/620x413\/d3f5fe5bdeecceae19186f30f2a00bba\/ap25350529584783.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/16\/39f49af2-daa6-44a2-b24d-6f192f68816f\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/f582ceaaafaa31f5df460be89315b93a\/ap25350529584783.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">White House chief of staff Susie Wiles listens as President Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House on Feb. 4, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Evan Vucci \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wiles&#8217; statement did not deny that she was accurately quoted. CBS News has asked Vanity Fair for any additional comment and whether the publication will be releasing a transcript or audio of the interviews.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles, a longtime political operative in Florida, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/susie-wiles-trump-white-house-chief-of-staff-first-woman\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">became the first woman<\/a><\/span> to serve as White House chief of staff when Mr. Trump took office in January.

Any attempt to divide this administration will fail. Any attempt to undermine and downplay President Trump&#8217;s monumental achievements will fail. We are family. We are united.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is what the Left does: trash &amp; smear our best &amp; most effective people,&#8221; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeteHegseth\/status\/2000985697226777027\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wrote<\/a>. &#8220;They do it to President Trump daily \u2014 and now to Chief Susie Wiles.

Vance said he hadn&#8217;t read the article yet but had heard about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true,&#8221; Vance said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And by the way, Susie and I have joked in private and in public about that for a long time,&#8221; Vance continued. &#8220;For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask three-year-olds at the height of the COVID pandemic, that we should actually let them develop some language skills. I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was clearly unable to do the job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;If any of us have learned a lesson from that Vanity Fair article, I hope that the lesson is we should be giving fewer interviews to mainstream media outlets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section
