A top adviser to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign has been identified as a key figure in the indictment against him for illegally storing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home, ABC News reported Wednesday.
Susie Wiles isn’t named in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment but is referred to as a “PAC representative” to whom Trump is accused of showing a classified map, sources told the news outlet.
He is said to have shown her the map while discussing a military operation that Trump said “was not going well,” before adding that he “should not be showing the map” and warning her “not to get too close,” ABC reported.
Wiles, who ran Ron DeSantis’ two campaigns for governor, also led Trump’s Florida operation in 2016 and later became CEO to Trump’s Save America Political Action Committee, ABC reported.
She is one of a small group that's heading his 2024 presidential campaign and is considered one of his most trusted confidantes, ABC reported.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts in the indictment.
