Calley Means Accuses Susie Wiles of Corruption in Health Policy Fight

Calley Means, former senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accused former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and her team of corruption, alleging they catered to special interests and blocked health policies, contributing to her departure. Means claimed Wiles and her associates, including pollster Tony Fabrizio, took money from industries like tobacco and food while advising against popular health initiatives, such as defining ultra-processed food. He said these actions occurred without President Trump's full knowledge and that the new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, supports the MAHA agenda. Means also criticized FDA nominee Dr. Heidi Overton for blocking health reforms and pushing policies favorable to the vaping industry. He called for bipartisan cooperation on structural health reforms, including drug pricing and pesticide regulation, while denying his own conflicts of interest.
