A federal investigation is underway after someone impersonated White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles by hacking her personal phone.
The imposter reportedly contacted politicians and business leaders using her contact list, requesting pardons and even cash transfers.
Former President Donald Trump confirmed the breach and praised Wiles’ resilience. A White House official stated that only her personal device was compromised.
The FBI had recently warned about cyber threats involving impersonation of U.S. officials.
In related news, the Trump White House is reportedly reshuffling the press briefing room seating to prioritize media outlets based on audience reach, potentially reducing visibility for traditional mainstream organizations in favor of conservative influencers.
