Garcia lists Wiles among 4 former officials facing congressional probes

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), most likely the incoming House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair, said Tuesday that former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles will face a congressional investigation in the next Congress.

“We’re already looking at Susie Wiles,” the Golden State Democrat told reporters on Tuesday.

“I mean, first let’s go back to the [Jeffrey] Epstein investigation, when you have Susie Wiles in the Situation Room, with the vice president, JD Vance, talking about Ghislaine Maxwell, trying to exonerate Donald Trump, strategizing about how to continue the White House coverup,” he continued.

Garcia added later that “just because you’re no longer in the administration, and whether your name is Susie Wiles, whether it’s Kimberly Guilfoyle, whether it is Corey Lewandowski, whether it is Kristi Noem, you are being investigated and there needs to be accountability in that space.”

Last month, Guilfoyle, the former U.S. ambassador to Greece, resigned following a series of reports alleging she engaged in misconduct amid her time in her role in Athens. Lewandowski, a former Trump adviser, was reported by the Wall Street Journal to have controlled billions of dollars of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contracts and pitched government services to Qatari and Emirati officials.

Noem is the former Homeland Security secretary and ex-Trump administration special envoy to the “Shield of the Americas” coalition. While serving as the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Noem faced threats of impeachment from Democrats as she surged officials to multiple cities as part of Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown.

Last week, Democrats locked down the House and Senate in the next Congress, gaining control of key committees next year.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
