## Key points

- Calley Means asked Wiles and two lobbying firms to preserve records.
- The request covers glyphosate, sugar-industry fundraising and nutrition policy.
- Means’ allegations followed his resignation and a podcast interview.

## Summary

Calley Means, a former adviser to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, has asked White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and two Trump-linked lobbying firms to preserve records related to allegations he made on Joe Rogan’s podcast. The request names Ballard Partners and Continental Strategy and seeks communications about lobbying access, corporate influence and policy decisions. It matters because Means says the material could shed light on allegations of corruption, while Wiles and former deputy chief of staff James Blair have reportedly considered legal action over his interview.

Means asked for records concerning Bayer and Monsanto, glyphosate policy, sugar-industry fundraising and federal nutrition policy, as well as lobbying invoices, meeting calendars and visitor logs. His request also covers encrypted or disappearing messages and communications about his claims and any contemplated legal action. Means said he resigned on 22 October over alleged corruption; he claimed Wiles said sugar-industry money was needed to win the midterms. He also described being told that a glyphosate executive order was final and not open to discussion. President Donald Trump signed the order on 18 February, and the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on 25 June that federal pesticide law bars state failure-to-warn claims against Monsanto.
