People close to President Donald Trump rejected a CNN chyron in real time on Tuesday, according to network host Dana Bash, who revealed that they were texting her during the show to let her know that they weren't "reeling" over White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' interview with Vanity Fair.

CNN's chyron during Bash's show on Tuesday read, "White House reeling over Susie Wiles interview."

"You probably saw me looking down while you were talking because I was getting texts from people inside Trump world who say, ‘No, they’re not reeling,’ as our chyron says," Bash told CNN's political director David Chalian during a segment on "Inside Politics." 

"So here we go. Susie Wiles is unfiltered, we’re going to be unfiltered too. And they say that that is not what’s happening. And that is an exaggeration of what’s going on inside. So that’s out there. And we’re going to be transparent about what they’re saying right now," Bash said.

Chalian said the White House was "circling the wagons" in defense of Wiles.

"I have not met anybody who does not — in Trump world, and frankly, even some Democrats who deal with the White House — who does not adore Susie Wiles," Bash later said. "They just think she’s a straight shooter, and she’s solid and that she is, you know, the person who needs to be there right now for this president at this time."

Vanity Fair published a two-part interview with Wiles, which included some candid remarks about Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other top admininistration officials.

Trump "has an alcoholic’s personality" and "operates [with] a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing," Wiles told the magazine.

"Some clinical psychologist that knows one million times more than I do will dispute what I’m going to say. But high-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I’m a little bit of an expert in big personalities," she told Vanity Fair.

Vanity Fair also reported that Wiles said Vice President JD Vance had been "a conspiracy theorist for a decade" and that Vance's support for Trump — after previously criticizing him — was "sort of political."

The chief of staff said the piece was "disingenuously framed" in a statement posted to X.

Republicans in the House of Representatives want to know if some of the country’s largest Obamacare health insurance brokers are contributing to a dismal picture of fraud spurring the program's soaring costs.

The House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent letters to Blue Shield of California, Centene Corporation, CVS Health, Elevance Health, Kaiser Permanente, Oscar Health Inc. and GuideWell on Monday, demanding detailed information on their enrollment services.

All those companies help consumers sign up for Obamacare’s enhanced health insurance premiums that are at the heart of the committee’s fraud evaluations.

"Brokers have targeted individuals with deceptive advertisements and pressured enrollees to lie about their incomes to obtain Obamacare subsidies. Evidence suggests that many individuals do not even know they are signing up for health insurance or agreeing to switch plans," the committee said in a statement.

The committee has asked the companies to provide how many people they’ve helped sign up for the enhanced premium tax credits, the number of enrolled people who don’t make use of their benefits, internal communications dealing with fraud and abuse, and a list of employees dealing with anti-fraud efforts. 

SENATE DEMS' OBAMACARE FIX FAILS AS SENATE LOOKS FOR OFF-RAMP FROM HEALTHCARE CLIFF

The Judiciary’s letters come as lawmakers wrestle with whether to extend Obamacare’s enhanced premium subsidies — even as questions about fraud and other inefficiencies remain — or to let them expire at the end of the year.

Congress initially greatly widened Obamacare’s federal assistance in 2021 as an emergency response to COVID-19. Over 90% of Obamacare’s 24 million enrollees now make use of the expanded assistance, according to research from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Seto Bagdoyan, the director of audit services for the GAO, told Fox News Digital that under the expanded current framework, brokers are incentivized to enroll as many people as possible. He helped author a recent GAO report detailing how Obamacare’s administrators have a poor understanding of where federal assistance dollars end up. 

"So, the incentive system for brokers is based on commission. They get commission from the subsidies paid to the insurance companies," Bagdoyan said.

According to the GAO, as many as 29,000 Social Security numbers (SSNs) in 2023 and nearly 68,000 SSNs in 2024 used to receive more than one year's worth of insurance coverage with APTC in a single plan year.

Bagdoyan explained the extent of the fraud and the role brokers play in that picture isn’t well understood, but believes it has contributed to the program’s exorbitant costs. 

"The unscrupulous ones will probably go out and run up the score like we think we are encountering through our analysis. [Fraud examples] include not only changes to the agent or broker of record, but also changes to the policies, new policies, and outright fraudulent policies. So that is part and parcel of the broken side," Bagdoyan said. 

The Judiciary Committee has requested a response from the letter recipients no later than Dec. 29. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the recipients for comment.
