"Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story," she wrote, accusing the magazine of trying to "paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team," she added.

Vanity Fair quoted Wiles, whose own father, the NFL announcer Pat Summerall, was an alcoholic, as saying that Trump, while a non-drinker, has "an alcoholic’s personality," and "operates (with) a view that there's nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing."

As per the published interview, Trump's chief of staff had barbed comments for Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying Bondi "completely whiffed" the promised release to right-wing influencers of documents about Epstein.
