White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters resigns after Susie Wiles' departure

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters resigned following the departure of his superior, Susie Wiles, and the appointment of Stephen Miller to her position. Axios reported the news, citing Walters' own statement. Walters submitted his resignation on November 6, the same day President Donald Trump announced Miller would become the new chief of staff effective November 9. Walters expressed gratitude for serving under Trump and thanked Wiles for the opportunity, while Miller said Walters would assist with policy implementation from outside the administration. Walters had held the position since May and shared a close, long-standing relationship with Wiles. The announcement follows reports that UFC head Dana White declined Trump's offer to become White House press secretary.
