White House Chief of Staff Impersonation: A Growing Concern

U.S. federal authorities are currently probing an incident involving an impersonator pretending to be White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

The investigation revealed that the impersonator gained access to Wiles' private phone contacts, which were compromised via her personal phone—distinct from her official government device.

High-profile figures, including senators and top business executives, received communications from someone posing as Wiles. Attempts to reach the White House and FBI for comments have so far been unsuccessful.
