Susie Wiles' son-in-law deletes LinkedIn posts touting hemp policy role amid corruption
Based on reporting by Raw Story.
The Brief
Bret Worley, CEO of hemp manufacturer MC Nutraceuticals and son-in-law of former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, deleted his LinkedIn account and company posts that boasted of shaping a provision in a September spending bill delaying a federal ban on hemp-derived THC products, the Daily Caller reported Tuesday.
The deletion followed Wiles' Nov. 6 exit after Republicans' midterm losses and allegations she favored family interests. Former HHS adviser Calley Means accused Wiles of tipping hemp policy in her family's favor, while the White House denied she lobbied Congress.
The delay temporarily rescues a multibillion-dollar industry ahead of the Nov. 12 ban effective date. A July 2025 lawsuit claimed Worley leveraged his connections to Wiles' daughter Caroline, whom he married in June at Trump Winery.
