Calley Means accuses Susie Wiles of blocking health agenda

Calley Means, former senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said on "Face the Nation" that he intended to get Chief of Staff Susie Wiles removed, alleging she and her cohort catered to special interests against President Trump's agenda. He claimed they took money from industries like vaping and processed food, compromising policy. Means accused Wiles, Richard Walters, and others of blocking MAHA initiatives, including a definition for ultra-processed food, while accepting industry money. He cited Tony Fabrizio's polling firm clients and alleged foreign trips by staffers, though those involved denied the claims. Means said Trump was often unaware of these actions. Means urged bipartisan cooperation on health reforms, praising Stephen Miller as a strong MAHA ally. He criticized FDA nominee Heidi Overton and defended his own ethics, saying he divested his company. He acknowledged midterm exit polls showing voters viewed Trump's health policies negatively.
