Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff and one of Donald Trump's most trusted political allies, has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Wiles said she informed President Trump of her diagnosis shortly after learning of it last week, adding: 'I am grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early and are guiding my care, and I am encouraged by a strong prognosis.'
Trump, announcing the news via Truth Social, said Wiles had decided to 'take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting,' and that she would be spending 'virtually full time at the White House' during treatment. The news has drawn an outpouring of support from across the administration and prompted widespread public interest in the woman who, despite holding one of Washington's most powerful positions, has remained largely out of the spotlight.
