The White House has accused the US magazine "Vanity Fair" of distorting the words of Susie Wiles, head of the Presidential Administration.
According to Modern.az, "Bloomberg" writes that the scandal began after the magazine's article containing Wiles' critical remarks about billionaire Elon Musk and Vice President J.D. Vance.
According to the information, the material published on Tuesday and distributed with paid access is based on conversations journalists had with Susie Wiles over approximately one year. In that article, she is alleged to have expressed frank and sometimes harsh opinions about US President Donald Trump's inner circle.
The article notes that Wiles called Elon Musk an “aggressive” user of ketamine, as well as stating that Musk might have taken “microdoses” when he posted on the X social network that government officials were responsible for the deaths of millions of people during the reigns of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong. Additionally, Wiles stated that she had no direct information regarding Musk's drug use.
"Vanity Fair" writes that Susie Wiles characterized Vice President J.D. Vance as a “conspiracy theorist,” and Russ Vought, head of the White House Office of Management and Budget, as a “full-blown right-wing fanatic.” Also, US Attorney General Pam Bondi was criticized for her handling of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Following the scandal, Susie Wiles posted on the X social network, calling the article “a dishonest, fabricated attack against me, the best president in history, White House staff, and the Cabinet.” She stated that important context was ignored, and a large part of what she and others said about the president and the team was removed from the article.
