Trump names Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff
cnn.com —
Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff. Wiles, who managed Trump's campaign, is the first woman to hold this position. Trump praised her for her contributions to his past campaigns and leadership skills. Wiles had reservations about the role, seeking more control over access to the president. During Trump's first term, chiefs of staff struggled with informal advisers frequently visiting the Oval Office. Wiles is credited with running a disciplined campaign and managing access effectively. Brooke Rollins, another candidate for the position, withdrew from consideration, recognizing Wiles as the frontrunner. Wiles has been a long-time adviser to Trump, playing a key role in his political successes.
