Stephen Miller To Take Over As White House Chief Of Staff

By The Federalist.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, perhaps the Trump administration’s foremost immigration and deportation hawk, will take over as chief of staff after Susie Wiles resigned her position Thursday night.

President Donald Trump announced Miller’s promotion on social media, stating Miller is one of his “most trusted advisors,” adding, “Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!”

The shake-up at the top comes after devastating midterms for Republicans, where many voters were angry with the protracted war in Iran and its resultant high gas prices and a lack of focus on domestic issues like affordability.

Staffing changes after election defeats are fairly common, and more could come. Officials in top positions at the Department of Justice have also started turning in their resignations, including Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division John Eisenberg.

Some on the right, like Steve Bannon, who served as the White House chief strategist in Trump’s first term, called for Wiles to be removed, stating, “I think that you have to look to people like Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, and the political consultants that are there … because of the results, they should be removed and removed immediately.” (Read more from “Stephen Miller To Take Over As White House Chief Of Staff” HERE)
