Trump to replace Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller as chief of staff

Donald Trump announced Stephen Miller as his choice to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff. Miller has advised Trump since 2016 and served as deputy chief of staff for policy in Trump’s second term. He is known for advocating hardline immigration policies. The BBC reported that Democrats planned investigations and oversight; the idea that Miller’s appointment signals a more confrontational approach to Congress is analysis, not a confirmed motive.
