U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, accompanied by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during military operations in Iran, at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, U.S. February 28, 2026.

White House officials have responded to reports that Susie Wiles is planning to ditch her role as Trump's chief of staff.
"Total bull—," wrote the official White House Rapid Response account. "Another fake hatchet job from a wannabe reporter peddling anonymous sources who don't actually know anything."
The Daily Mail reported that Susie Wiles is plotting a post-midterms exit because she was insulted by Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.
Similarly, White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair denied the story, writing that it's "both absurd and totally false" in a post on X.
"The self-serving are working overtime today," he blasted, as other MAGA accounts echoed his denial.
