White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has publicly corrected President Donald Trump’s claims that former President Bill Clinton visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island dozens of times, saying there is no evidence to support the allegation and that Trump was “wrong” in making it.

In a candid profile published this week, Wiles addressed multiple claims tied to Epstein-related documents, confirming that, while Trump’s name appears in some Epstein materials, investigators have not found proof of Clinton’s visits to the notorious Little St. James estate.

Trump had made the assertion during public remarks earlier this year, including comments in Scotland, where he said he never visited Epstein’s island but claimed Clinton had done so many times.

Wiles, after reviewing available records, told the magazine that there is simply no evidence to substantiate that narrative.

She added that the documents do not suggest any incriminating information about Clinton, countering the president’s suggestion that his political rival was implicated in wrongdoing.

Wiles’s remarks represent a rare instance of a senior aide openly disputing an unverified public claim made by the president.

Despite the disagreement, Wiles has maintained her loyalty to Trump and defended his broader leadership.

After the profile’s publication, she described the coverage as a “disingenuously framed hit piece” that lacked important context and overstated internal tensions.

The White House press secretary and other senior officials rallied to her defence, emphasising her leadership role and the administration’s accomplishments.

They highlighted that Trump’s record in office remains strong, with significant policy achievements across economic and national security domains.

The Epstein controversy remains in the spotlight as Congress prepares to receive the full release of unclassified Epstein case files later this week under a law passed in November.

The files are expected to include extensive materials connected to Epstein’s network, though Wiles and other officials have underscored that inclusion in the documents does not equate to culpability.

By publicly clarifying the record on the Clinton allegation, the chief of staff has sought to strike a balance between addressing partisan speculation and reinforcing the administration’s commitment to factual accuracy while navigating a highly charged political environment.
