Trump names Stephen Miller as new White House chief of staff
Donald Trump named longtime adviser Stephen Miller as his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, who stepped down on 6 November following heavy Republican losses in the midterm elections. Miller, previously deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, has been the architect of the administration's hardline immigration enforcement. Trump called him "one of my most trusted advisers," while Democrats described the move as a doubling down on the administration's most contentious policies.
