Trump appoints his campaign chair, Susie Wiles, as White House chief of staff

US President-elect Donald Trump appointed Susie Wiles, director of his victorious election campaign, as White House director of staff.

Wells is widely credited inside and outside Trump’s inner circle for running what was, by far, his most disciplined and well-executed campaign. She has largely avoided the spotlight, even refusing to use a microphone to speak as Trump celebrated his victory early Wednesday morning.

“Susie is strong, smart, innovative, and universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to make America great again,” Trump said in a statement.
