Key Highlights

  • Susie Wiles announces she is cancer-free after six months of treatment at the Mayo Clinic.
  • Wiles' diagnosis and treatment timeline.
  • Impact on her role as White House chief of staff.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has confirmed she is cancer-free, exactly six months after she confirmed her diagnosis. In a post on X, Wiles shared her pathology tests "came back clear" after a visit to the Mayo Clinic earlier this week.

Wiles, 69, is considered among the most powerful figures in the Trump administration and someone particularly close to the US president. She continued working virtually at the White House during the six months of treatment following her diagnosis.

In December, Vanity Fair published interviews with Wiles in which she gave a blunt - and occasionally unflattering - assessment of her time working in the Trump White House. She described the famously teetotaling president as having an "alcoholic's personality" but added that there's "nothing he can't do. Nothing, zero, nothing."

Wiles also provided candid thoughts about other figures close to the US president, describing Vice-President JD Vance as a "conspiracy theorist" and Elon Musk as an "odd, odd duck." The US president, however, swiftly came to her defence and Wiles described Vanity Fair's reporting as having omitted "significant context" to create a "chaotic and negative narrative" about the administration.

Before taking the job, Wiles played a significant role in President Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Her tenure, however, has not been without controversy.

President Trump and the White House have yet to comment on Wiles' announcement. The Mayo Clinic has also released a statement confirming Wiles' cancer-free status.

Wiles thanked Trump for his "unwavering support" and vowed to continue working to "advance his America First Agenda." She continued, "I now join their ranks."

In March, Wiles stated that one in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer. "Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work and serve their communities with strength and determination," she said.

Wiles is the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff - widely considered to be the most important role in the White House. Her position involves keeping the president's agenda on track and serving as a gatekeeper to President Trump. As well as a policy coordinator and political advisor.
