White House deputy chief of staff exits after Stephen Miller named chief of staff

White House deputy chief of staff Richard Walters is leaving the Trump administration following Stephen Miller's appointment as chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles after the Republican Party's midterm election losses. Walters, described as one of Wiles' closest political lieutenants, confirmed his resignation Sunday, saying he looks forward to supporting the president's agenda from outside the administration. Miller praised Walters as an invaluable team member who helped deliver major victories. The departure follows Trump's decision to replace Wiles after Democrats secured control of Congress in last week's midterms. Trump hinted at further staff changes in a CBS interview, while Miller's promotion signals continued hardline immigration policies.
