White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said Attorney General Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting she misread how intensely President Donald Trump’s core supporters cared about the long-promised disclosures and overhyped material that ultimately contained nothing new.

In an interview published Tuesday by Vanity Fair, Wiles spoke candidly about when Bondi staged a February rollout of binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” for a group of conservative social media influencers invited to the White House. The binders, handed to figures including Liz Wheeler, Jessica Reed Kraus, Rogan O’Handley, and Chaya Raichik, turned out to contain recycled information drawn largely from Epstein’s old contact lists, with addresses redacted and no new context.
