Special Counsel Jack Smith Targets Top Trump Campaign Aide Susie WilesHannah Bleau 30 Jun 2023
The feds are targeting a top aide to former President Donald Trump, Susie Wiles, as part of U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents.
Federal investigators have contacted Susie Wiles as part of the investigation following allegations that she viewed a classified map during a meeting at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster post-presidency. According to reports, Wiles has “spoken to federal investigators numerous times.”
CNN cited a source who asserted that, while Wiles is not named in the formal indictment of the former president, she is believed to be the “’representative of his political action committee’ who is referenced in the indictment,” which asserts Trump showed others classified documents on two separate occasions in 2021, after leaving office. The indictment alleges that Trump showed a representative of his political action committee (PAC) — whom sources identified to CNN as Wiles — a “classified map related to a military operation and told the representative that he should not be showing it to the representative and that the representative should not get too close.” This allegedly happened at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Wiles is a key political player, as ABC News notes she “helped lead Trump’s now-GOP primary opponent Ron DeSantis’s two campaigns for governor,” also working on the Trump campaign operations in Florida and serving as the CEO of the former president’s Save America PAC.
Wiles also co-chairs Mercury Public Affairs — a lobbying firm for Chinese entities representing the likes of Hikvision and Alibaba, per the New York Post.
The Trump campaign has adamantly denied any wrongdoing, maintaining the line that the DOJ is overtly engaging in election interference.
