Stephen Miller's wife lobbied Trump allies to back him for chief of staff, report says

rawstory.com —

Stephen Miller's wife, Katie Miller, lobbied Trump associates to recommend her husband for White House chief of staff before his appointment, according to a Politico report. Katie Miller made roughly six calls to figures including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Vice President JD Vance's circle after Tuesday's midterm defeat, urging them to pitch Stephen Miller as Susie Wiles' successor. She asked recipients to share the message, though she never pushed for Wiles' removal. Wiles, who recently underwent chemotherapy, had been considering an exit after the GOP's losses. Other potential successors discussed included Bill Pulte, Steve Witkoff, Kevin McCarthy, and Randy Levine.
