Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will soon quit her high-level White House post, insiders told the Daily Mail.
Wiles is preparing to quit because she was "vehemently" opposed to the promotion of Bill Pulte from the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the role of acting Director of National Intelligence, three White House insiders told the Daily Mail.
She perceived it as an "insult" when Trump followed through on the Pulte promotion, and Trump had already been starting to "resent" her opposition, the Mail reported.
"She is loyal to Trump, but he is now basically saying, 'Look, Ma, you are not the boss of me,'" an insider told the Mail.
She's plotting an exit strategy as she's also dealing with health problems, according to the Mail.
"She is getting cancer treatment and is completely drained," a White House insider told the Mail. "Now Trump is taking more and more control of the White House."
According to the Mail, Wiles is expected to use the midterms as an off-ramp and could leave the White House soon after the November elections.
Wiles has been working with Trump since his first campaign in 2016 and has held the chief of staff role since his reelection, the Mail noted.
