Good afternoon. Donald Trump has made his first appointment as US president-elect, naming Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff – the first woman to hold the influential role.
Wiles joined Trump’s third campaign and served as his “de facto chief of staff” to lead his successful re-election bid, as well as helping him work with lawyers on his various criminal and civil cases. In his victory speech, Trump referred to Wiles as “the Ice Maiden”, saying she “liked to stay sort of in the back”.
