Ex-Trump admin official Calley Means wildly suggests Susie Wiles ‘has the capacity to inflict physical harm’
Key Points:
- Calley Means, former senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accused Susie Wiles and lobbying firm Ballard Partners of undermining President Trump's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, alleging Wiles might "inflict physical harm" on him.
- Means claimed Wiles promoted a "demonic" White House culture and blocked investigations into sugar consumption in children due to political funding interests, accusations Wiles' spokesperson called "outrageous, defamatory, and provably false."
- Lobbying firm Ballard Partners denied Means' claims about advocating for fruit-flavored vapes or glyphosate-related policies, stating their interactions with Wiles were limited and focused on combating illegal vapes.
- Robert Malone highlighted a potential conflict of interest, noting that RFK Jr.'s daughter-in-law is a lobbyist at Ballard Partners, questioning why Means' scrutiny does not extend to Kennedy's own family connections.
- Means also alleged threats from former White House official James Blair over vape policy disputes, which Blair denied, calling the claims "a complete and total lie."
