**Susie Wiles** serves as White House Chief of Staff under President Trump. She has come under scrutiny after reporting that her daughter works at a firm that lobbies for **Republika Srpska**, the Russian-aligned entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, making her family the latest White House-linked connection to the entity (FT, October 8).
## Background
Wiles is a top Trump aide whose family's business ties have become part of a broader pattern of scrutiny over Washington-Balkans connections, alongside campaign advisers Chris LaCivita and James Blair, who President Trump is reportedly considering removing over related concerns (FT, October 7).
## Why It Matters
As Chief of Staff, Wiles occupies one of the most powerful positions in the executive branch. Any perception of conflicts of interest involving her family and a foreign, Russian-aligned political entity carries significant implications for scrutiny of the administration, especially ahead of the midterms.
