Fox News interrupted its daily broadcast to announce White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.
Fox News cut to “Outnumbered” host Harris Faulkner, who revealed Wiles’ cancer diagnosis.
Faulkner said President Trump broke the news about his chief of staff’s diagnosis on his Truth Social app.
“We want to get this in,” Faulkner said. “Trump announced his White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. He adds that her prognosis is excellent. And he says, Susan Wiles has decided to take on this challenge immediately as opposed to waiting.”
Faulkner continued: “She will be working virtually full-time while she undergoes treatment…”
Faulkner said Wiles’ cancer diagnosis was personal for her. “To me, this moment is particularly different. It’s personal. It’s personal for the nation too.”
Faulkner’s mother and aunt died following their battle with breast cancer.
Wiles sat next to Trump in the East Room of the White House during his meeting with the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was renamed the Trump Kennedy Center.
She wore pink, the color that symbolizes breast cancer.
In a Truth Social post earlier, Trump praised Wiles’ professional work ethic.
Trump wrote, “Susie Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know. But, unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, and has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting.”
