On the night of May 5, the 69-year-old chief of staff took to X to call reports she was preparing to leave the administration a "piece of fiction," declaring, "To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere." She ended her statement with a defiant "See you Monday," and accused some media voices of trying to manufacture drama around the president's team.
The report claimed Wiles opposed President Trump's pick of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. Wiles denied those assertions as "completely false and defamatory," and publicly praised Pulte, saying she had seen how hard he worked at FHFA and believed he would bring energy to the role.
