Katie Miller defends lobbying for husband Stephen's chief of staff promotion

President Donald Trump fired Susie Wiles and promoted Stephen Miller to chief of staff, with a POLITICO report detailing lobbying by Miller's wife, Katie, who urged Trump contacts to support her husband for the role. Katie Miller made roughly half a dozen calls to Trump allies, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and people connected to Vice President JD Vance, after it became clear Trump was ready to replace Wiles. She posted on X that she was simply a wife supporting her husband. Wiles, who recently underwent chemotherapy, had been considering leaving after the midterms, and Republicans' election defeat appeared to seal her fate. Katie previously worked at the Department of Homeland Security and with Elon Musk's government efficiency initiative.
