Trump Chief of Staff Wiles Says Cancer-Free
Trump Chief of Staff Wiles Says Cancer-Free
The News
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said Wednesday that she is free of breast cancer, six months after she was diagnosed.
Wiles, 68, said her pathology results came back clear after a procedure at the Mayo Clinic earlier this week. "I am cancer free," she wrote on X.
President Trump announced in March that Wiles had been diagnosed with what he described as "early-stage" breast cancer. She kept working from her West Wing office through the diagnosis and treatment.
Timeline
Trump announces that his chief of staff has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Wiles notes at the time that about 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with the disease.
Wiles travels with Trump to Dallas for the Republican midterm convention.
Wiles undergoes a procedure at the Mayo Clinic. She is back at work afterward, making calls and running meetings.
Wiles posts on X that her pathology results are clear and that she is cancer free.
Reactions
Wiles delivered the news herself, in her own post on X, rather than through a formal White House statement.
The announcement was picked up quickly across the spectrum — Reuters, CBS News, the New York Post and the Washington Examiner all carried it within roughly half an hour on Wednesday afternoon.
What's Next
Wiles said she will keep working to advance the administration's agenda.
The White House has not disclosed what specific procedure she underwent at the Mayo Clinic.
More
Wiles runs one of the most operationally central jobs in the executive branch, controlling access to the president and the flow of the West Wing. She held the post throughout her treatment, and the administration never announced a handover of her duties.
