Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles

President Donald Trump replaced chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller on Friday, elevating a trusted adviser known for hardline domestic policies after Republicans lost Congress in the midterm elections. Miller, previously deputy chief of staff, will steer Trump’s agenda as Democrats prepare to lead the House and Senate, with expected congressional investigations. Trump called Miller “one of my most trusted advisers” and praised Wiles for “an outstanding job,” with the change effective Monday. Wiles, 69, who recently recovered from breast cancer, resigned Thursday night and will move to Trump’s political operation. Trump sought a “more aggressive” approach as approval ratings fell, with officials saying the move rewards loyalty rather than altering course.
