WASHINGTON — White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said the administration's accusations against New York Attorney General Letitia James "might" be "retribution," and "when there’s an opportunity" for President Donald Trump to take retribution, "he will go for it," Vanity Fair reported in a new profile of Wiles.

Vanity Fair published the two-part profile on Tuesday based on a wide-ranging series of 11 interviews over the course of a year with Wiles, who rarely grants public interviews and generally stays out of the spotlight. The profile provides a rare look into the mindset of one of the most powerful people in the White House.

"President Trump has no greater or more loyal advisor than Susie," Leavitt said in the statement. "The entire Administration is grateful for her steady leadership and united fully behind her."

Wiles also rebuked Vanity Fair's reporting in a post to X, calling it "a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history."
