Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles

business-standard.com —

President Donald Trump named Stephen Miller as his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, days after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections. The move signals Trump is unlikely to moderate his policies despite the electoral rebuke. Miller, an immigration hardliner and architect of the administration's border policies, will take over from Wiles, the first woman to hold the role, who is moving to Trump's political operation. Wiles resigned Thursday night, with her last day Friday, after a tenure marked by her quiet control of West Wing operations. The reshuffle comes as Trump faces a lame-duck period and a hostile Democratic Congress vowing increased oversight. Representative Robert Garcia plans to investigate Miller over immigration policies, while Trump hinted at further changes, saying he expects "a few changes" to his cabinet.
