Trump Team Asks Biden Aides For Help?
Washington, D.C. — In a revealing new interview, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles opened up about the Trump administration’s transition into office—and offered a surprising take on the team behind former President Joe Biden.
Speaking with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, Wiles described the Biden presidency as one defined by sluggish leadership—but acknowledged that his staff handled the transition with unexpected professionalism.
“President Biden was a low energy leader—and honestly, that makes it harder for staff,” Wiles explained. “They had to push him, while I’m pulling for President Trump every day. But to their credit, they were respectful, helpful, and very prepared.”
Wiles said Biden’s team provided valuable support during the handoff, offering access to resources and guidance despite deep political differences.
“We may not agree politically, but the individuals I worked with were courteous and surprisingly helpful. I even reach out to a few of them now and then,” she added.
While Wiles praised the staff, she did not extend the same kindness to the presidency itself.
“The administration? Not so much,” she said bluntly.
Wiles also recalled a face-to-face meeting between President Trump and Biden shortly after the 2024 election, describing the interaction as surreal.
“You’d think they were old golfing buddies,” Wiles said. “They’d spent months attacking each other, and suddenly it was all handshakes and smiles. It was professional—but strange.”
Despite that civility, the Trump administration is now investigating whether Biden was fully in control during his time in office. President Trump recently ordered a probe into the use of the “autopen”—a device that allows staff to sign documents on behalf of the president—raising concerns that Biden’s aides may have taken action without his knowledge or consent.
Meanwhile, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has subpoenaed top Biden staffers, including former chief of staff Jeff Zients, as part of a broader investigation into the alleged cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline.
“The American people deserve transparency,” Comer wrote in a letter to Zients, warning that evidence of presidential incapacity is no longer just speculation—it may be fact.
Wiles, for her part, thanked Zients for helping facilitate the transition—but noted that she has no insider view of how decisions were really made under Biden’s leadership.
“Looking back, I still don’t know how it all happened. It’s hard to believe,” she said.
As concerns grow about President Biden’s mental state and decision-making, conservatives are demanding answers—and accountability.
