White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles announced Tuesday that she is cancer-free, exactly six months after revealing her diagnosis. In a post on X, Wiles stated that her pathology tests returned clear following a recent visit to the Mayo Clinic.
Wiles, 69, is considered a powerful figure within the Trump administration and a close advisor to the president. She thanked Trump for his "unwavering support" and pledged to continue working toward his "America First Agenda."
During her six months of treatment, Wiles continued to work virtually from the White House. In March, she had noted that one in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer, stating, "Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks."
Prior to her role as Chief of Staff, Wiles played a significant part in President Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. As Chief of Staff, she is responsible for keeping the president's agenda on track, managing access to him, coordinating policy, and serving as a political advisor. Her tenure has also seen public discussions about her candid assessments of figures within and around the administration, as reported in a December interview with Vanity Fair. At that time, Trump defended her remarks, which Wiles' team stated had been presented out of context to create a negative narrative.
