10. I read the whole VF article, and Wiles is actually correct

The “bombshell” quotes being highlighted by other outlets such as The Hill are largely taken out of context, and the interview, for the most part, portrays Wiles as a loyal and fawning Trump servant. (Not that that is a good thing, but it is probably closer to the truth than what is being highlighted)

The “alcoholic personality” quote is probably the trickiest one for her to finesse.
