Today's Video Headlines The FBI is investigating an effort by an unknown individual to impersonate White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, according to a report.

The imposter has reportedly fired off text messages and placed phone calls to Republican lawmakers, governors and business executives in recent weeks pretending to be Wiles, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

It’s unclear who is behind the campaign, and what their goal is, but the faker appears to be using artificial intelligence to mimic Wiles’s voice — and in one case asked for cash transfer, according to the outlet.

One text from the person claiming to be Wiles asked a lawmaker to put together a list of people who could be pardoned by President Trump.

The messages were suspicious to some because they didn’t come from Wiles’s phone number, asked questions about Trump that the chief of staff would’ve known, were more formal than usual and contained broken grammar.

I would start by looking at Biden’s White House staff. Looks like projection/distraction tactics to me.

Definitely by a deep state actor or Democrat trying to push the narrative that Trump is selling pardons. They always accuse Republicans of doing that which they themselves have done or are doing.

Yesterday, I saw references (at two different news sites) of Trump “selling” pardons. I bet WaPo was all set with an exclusive on the story, but the Trump admin got a jump on them with this reporting.

Isn’t there a pardon app by now?

Why? Did Wiles report to the Biden White House?

Did she use the word “unburdened” in her request? If so, I’ve got an idea who it might be.

"I would start by looking at Biden’s White House staff."

That was my first thought too, since it's been reported they were selling pardons while working in the White House.
