White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles delivered a blistering response Friday night after a report surfaced claiming she was preparing to leave the Trump White House following the 2026 midterm elections.
The report, published by the Daily Mail and attributed to “five unnamed White House insiders,” alleged that Wiles had grown frustrated with what sources described as “Cabinet chaos” and disagreements with President Trump over personnel decisions.
The article further suggested that Wiles viewed the November midterms as a potential “off-ramp” from the administration.
The Daily Mail reported:
But now, Trump’s redoubtable right-hand woman – who he has nicknamed his ‘Ice Maiden’ – is quietly planning her exit after November’s midterm elections, notably frustrated by the President’s recent Cabinet appointments, sources say.
When asked by the Daily Mail, Wiles did not deny that she plans to quit, although she rejected claims about tension with the President and his recent appointments.
Insiders say she views the pivotal November midterms as her natural off-ramp, and a final chance to make her mark as Trump faces a seismic test amid growing national frustration over the Iran war and rising inflation.

The elevation of Pulte was seen as a direct insult to Wiles, three White House insiders confirmed, after she is said to have ‘vehemently’ opposed the extraordinary step of allowing the former leader of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to now oversee all of the CIA, FBI and 16 other national agencies.
Insiders say Trump has told close confidants that he has increasingly come to resent Wiles telling him what to do, a snowballing misalignment between the previously close pair that apparently led to his decision to promote Pulte.

‘Susie was totally against the Pulte move. As a matter of fact, less than a month ago she tried to have Pulte fired. It was after Trump posted the meme of himself as Jesus. That was Pulte’s idea,’ the source familiar with the strained relationship said.
But Wiles responded with a rare public statement on X. She wrote:
“After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail. To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere.
I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.
Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now. See you Monday.
After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail.
To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully…”
