Email from Susie Wiles warning White House staff about leaks, is leaked
Wiles warned unauthorized leaks could bring termination as the White House tightened controls on staff media contacts, officials said.
- On Friday, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles issued a directive ordering staff to stop leaking to the press, warning that unauthorized media contact will result in termination.
- The directive follows mounting exasperation within the West Wing over staff bypassing formal channels to share internal disputes, as Wiles sought to impose tighter operational discipline across the administration.
- Staff now require explicit approval from the White House Communications Office before speaking with media, a policy White House spokesperson Liz Huston defended as necessary to ensure the President's message reaches the American people accurately.
- On Thursday, Wiles addressed her guarded approach to the press while accepting the 'Woman of Valor' award at the Independent Women's 19th Awards Gala, months after her candid Vanity Fair interviews.
