White House chief of staff’s daughter shows up in photo from Republicka Srpska
CBS says the image adds scrutiny to Trumpworld ties to Republika Srpska, where a Washington lobbying firm is registered to represent the Balkan entity.
- CBS News verified a social media photo showing Katie Wiles, daughter of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, holding a rifle beside Republika Srpska Interior Minister Budimir during a mid-August visit to the Balkan region.
- Wiles is a partner at Continental Strategy, a lobbying firm signed to a $35,000-a-month contract to represent Republika Srpska, which raises questions about the White House's relationship with Milorad Dodik.
- President Donald Trump distanced himself Wednesday from GOP strategists James Blair and Chris LaCivita after reports they campaigned for Dodik's party, pledging on Truth Social, "If there's a conflict, I will terminate them, immediately!"
- A White House official told CBS News on Thursday that Susie Wiles does not discuss work matters with her daughters, while a firm spokesperson stated the August trip involved a feasibility study rather than lobbying business.
- Mounting scrutiny surrounds Trumpworld's ties to Dodik's party, which has forged close relations with President Vladimir Putin's government in Russia, amid accusations the administration's actions undermine United States foreign policy interests.
