Even President Donald Trump’s own chief of staff was shocked by his swift pardon of a former Honduran president who once touted that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”
Susie Wiles and other senior administration officials did not receive advance notice of Trump’s controversial pardon for Juan Orlando Hernández, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Wiles, 68, has long wielded great power in Trump’s orbit, with the president nicknaming her the “Ice Maiden.” More recently, he referred to her as “Susie Trump” in a bizarre speech that preceded her shockingly candid tell-all with Vanity Fair.
