Ex-Trump aide Calley Means accuses advisers of serving special interests

adn.com —

Former Trump White House adviser Calley Means accused top administration aides of catering to special interests and urged President Trump to "clear house" in a podcast interview with Joe Rogan released Friday. Means quit his post roughly two weeks ago amid delays on food policies. Means alleged that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles blocked health initiatives, including a food policy change, over fears about political donations from the sugar industry. He also claimed aides sidelined Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and were "obsessed with redistricting" ahead of the midterm elections, which saw sweeping Democratic victories. Trump announced Friday that Wiles would be replaced by longtime aide Stephen Miller. White House officials defended the administration's MAHA record, while Means's specific claims could not be independently verified. Kennedy posted that "draining the swamp is a mandate" and pledged to continue fighting corporate influence.
