Trump fires chief of staff Susie Wiles, names Stephen Miller as replacement

independent.co.uk —

President Donald Trump fired chief of staff Susie Wiles on Friday, replacing her with Stephen Miller, and hinted that more Cabinet officials may be dismissed following the Republican Party's sweeping losses in this week's midterm elections. In his first interview since the midterm blowout, Trump told CBS News he "loved" his Cabinet but would make "maybe a few changes," declining to name specific officials even when pressed about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Wiles, who offered her resignation Thursday evening, became the highest-profile casualty as Republicans seek someone to blame for the losses. Miller, the architect of Trump's hardline immigration policies including family separations and mass deportations, is seen as more ideologically uncompromising than Wiles. Democrats condemned the appointment, with Rep. Greg Casar vowing to fight "Trump and Miller's dangerous, out of control policies at every turn."
