US government investigates attempt to impersonate Trump's chief of staff

The United States government has opened an investigation into apparent efforts to impersonate White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in communications to politicians.

On Friday, a White House official confirmed to The Associated Press that a probe had been opened, following a report about the impersonation in The Wall Street Journal a day prior.

Anonymous sources told The Journal that governors, business leaders and senators had received messages and phone calls from someone posing as Wiles, who is a close associate of President Donald Trump.
