Calley MeansFormer senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., posting on X
In a post on X, Means wrote that senior administration officials had called him with stories of what he called Wiles's betrayals of Trump, that people who know her had warned him she has the capacity to inflict physical harm, and that he objected to threats from James Blair. He asked Wiles what he had said that was untrue.
“The amount of senior administration officials who have called me with stories of Susie's deranged betrayals of President Trump is revolting. People who know Susie well have warned me that she has the capacity to inflict physical harm, and I do not appreciate unhinged threats from James. ... What did I say that is untrue?”

Former RFK Jr. adviser Calley Means alleges Susie Wiles put midterm donor money ahead of MAHA policies; James Blair calls his claims false
On November 6, 2026, Calley Means, a former senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said on Joe Rogan's podcast that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and other top Trump aides held back Make America Healthy Again policies to protect money from special interests for the midterm elections. Trump political adviser James Blair called much of it false, and the White House pointed to its MAHA record. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said the corruption Means described reached the Trump administration.
