The family at the center of compromising President Trump’s first term has managed to further cement their influence in the administration of the 47th president.
Less than a year into Donald Trump’s second administration, and the consensus is beginning to come into focus: the wheels are falling off.
Whether it’s fighting to keep the Epstein Files secret, and then calling the files a “hoax,” Dan Bongino’s and Kash Patel’s overt cover-up of the shocking Israeli influence operation formerly run by Epstein and Maxwell after they vocally pushed for the files to be released, lying about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie for working to release the Epstein Files, replacing American kids and workers with H1B scabs, the overt replacement of Americans by technocrats pushing artificial intelligence, hosting Al Qaeda terrorists in the White House, celebrating Syrian terrorists as if they’re respected statesmen, Pam Bondi’s refusal to prosecute the federal agents who perpetrated the FedSurrection, the continued unqualified debt spending sent into foreign conflicts on behalf of Israel, or the complete and utter refusal by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to capably perform an investigation into foreign involvement in the televised assassination of Charlie Kirk (thus leaving the job to Candace Owens), the American people are fed up.
Americans are so palpably fed up with the full frontal attack on what it means to be America First, Donald Trump walked back his opposition to releasing of the Epstein Files. Leftist media like CNN and the NY Times celebrated, but didn’t make much effort to rehab Massie’s or MTG’s reputations.
Massie, for his part, remains suspicious of Trump’s reversal on Epstein, and he’s right to be.
The American people are likely to see a stack of FBI and DOJ-redacted files, and most of the key information that served as substrate for Epstein’s foreign influence operation.
Even Charlie Kirk and Megyn Kelly pointed to Israel as the likeliest of culprits responsible for Epstein’s influence operation.
The question left in the minds of most thinking Americans becomes, “Why can’t this administration seem to get anything right?”
The answer lies with Donald Trump’s White House Chief-of-Staff, Susie Wiles.
The Wiles family, and now the LaCivita family are deeply connected. National File and Patrick Howley first reported on Susie’s ties to Pfizer back in 2022.

Wiles, who previously worked at Ballard Partners (now on the outs with Trump after Susie moved on to Mercury), seems to have an easy time obtaining puff pieces on her at Trump-hating rags like the New York Times, POLITICO, and CNN (this one back in 2022), got her start in the politics more than forty years ago with Jack Kemp and later the Bush family as a result of her father Pat Summerall’s connections in media at CBS.
Wiles, and her ex-husband Lanny, each managed to lever their experience into statewide and later national level political positions, and lucrative lobbying gigs.
Wiles’s former firm Mercury Public Affairs recently signed up to lobby for China.
But Wiles’s ties to China are much longer than Mercury’s recent acquisition of the communist nation as a client.
Wiles’s was co-chair of a firm which took millions of dollars from Chinese companies such as Yealink, Hikvision and Alibaba.
“Susie could put Trump away for years in just one minute of testimony to Jack Smith,” a GOP operative told The New York Post. “She’s got Trump by the balls, which means she can name her price for her loyalty and Trump can’t say no.”
Alibaba was one of Mercury’s most lucrative clients, and still pays Mercury. The Chinese government holds a minority stake in Alibaba. Mercury collected $400,000 from its work with Alibaba in a short two year span.
Mercury did business with the Chinese firm Yealink up through May of 2023.
Mercury, Wiles’s lobbying firm, also signed up a US subsidiary of Chinese firm Hikvision as one of its biggest clients, raking in more than $1.7 million, according to the money-in-politics tracker OpenSecrets.
Hikvision manufactures video surveillance equipment for the Chinese government. That technology has been used to identify, locate, and detain political opponents within China, in Xinjiang, Axios reported in April.
The Commerce Department had previously barred American companies like AT&T from engaging with Chinese firms, as in this case, in which the selling of goods or services to Hikvision was barred. Subsidiaries of Hikvision were not proscribed from doing business with American companies, however.
Chinese companies like Hikvision which were deemed national security threats had their requests for new-device authorizations rejected by the Federal Communications Commission.
It is unclear whether Mercury and Wiles continued working on behalf of Hikvision into 2023.
The nation of India has also hired Mercury, Wiles’s former lobby shop, as well as a J.D. Vance staffer, to fight its corner in D.C.
The Wiles family record of undermining Trump goes back to the first term. National File’s cousin website Big League Politics first reported on the Wiles family’s efforts to undermine the Trump administration.
In that case, Susie’s daughter Caroline Wiles, who was reportedly engaged in an affair with another Trump staffer, was working to spike the tenures of hard-line MAGA nominees at EPA and Interior.

EXCLUSIVE: White House Leaker Identified As Trump’s Former Scheduler Caroline Wiles
by Patrick Howley
This article was originally published at Big League Politics in May of 2018.
WASHINGTON — Caroline Wiles, President Donald Trump’s original White House scheduler, has been identified as a leaker involved in the scheme to knock out Cabinet members Scott Pruitt and Ryan Zinke.
Big League Politics has learned that Wiles worked with anti-Scott Pruitt EPA leaker Kevin Chmielewski, who was fired from the Trump administration for driving around a fake police car in traffic.
Wiles and Chmielewski worked together in Florida governor Rick Scott’s office. Chmielewski was the advance man for Paul Manafort on sketchy Ukraine trips. His plot was exposed when one of his comrades, Alex Hinson in the Department of the Interior, lost his government cell phone, after which his personal cell phone became subject to federal government review.
Wiles was dismissed by the White House in February shortly after taking office, according to the Fox affiliate in Jacksonville, because she failed an FBI background check. Caroline Wiles is the daughter of Trump campaign strategist (and now Chief of Staff) Susie Wiles.
Sources further confirmed to Big League Politics that the impression within the White House that Caroline Wiles was having an affair with Rick Gates, the Trump campaign adviser who was forced to plead guilty in the Robert Mueller case. Gates agreed to “cooperate.”
Wiles is identified as an engineer of a misleading Atlantic piece by Elaina Plott claiming that Michael Abboud, an EPA official close to Pruitt, was responsible for negative leaks against Zinke. It was a head fake to distract attention from the real conspirators, according to sources close to the EPA.
The real conspirators: Kevin Chmielewski, Caroline Wiles of the White House personnel office, and Alex Hinson at the Department of the Interior (who is now said to be living with his parents as Ryan Zinke tries to figure out what to do about the young man’s leaking).
The so-called “whistleblower” in the now-fading Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) flap is actually a disgruntled employee who was fired for cause — being AWOL from his EPA post without clearance from his agency supervisors, according to multiple sources in and near the Trump administration.
The EPA media circus over the last weeks have stemmed from allegations made by former Deputy of Chief of Staff for operations, Kevin Chmielewski, a man whose behavior and background portended a short career as a presidential appointee.
The reasons for the media maelstrom seem much clearer given recent revelations about Chmielewski.
Upon being fired, Kevin Chmielewski threatened to go public with allegations against EPA chief Scott Pruitt, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.
