Stephen Miller memo to White House staffers says no lobbyist meetings without prior approval

The memo states, per Politico, that “No President in history has fought more relentlessly, selflessly or courageously for the American People than President Trump. Following his example, White House staff are expected to dedicate their time unwaveringly to the working people of the nation.”

No staffer will be permitted to hold “meetings on the White House complex with registered lobbyists related to government policy” without permission, Politico reports.

One lobbyist told the outlet that Miller is “impossible to lobby, no one can do it, not even the people that you would think are closest. I think he’s more reasonable than he’s being portrayed, but he’s not swayed by lobbying.”

Miller doesn’t have a deep past with lobbyists, either, unlike Wiles. Miller’s work outside of government includes non-profit legal work and his own consulting firm.

In a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, former Health and Human Services official Calley Means, a MAHA ally of HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said that the now-former chief of staff Wiles was too close to lobbyists.

Miller, a hard-liner who has been with Trump since the beginning back in 2016, was serving as deputy White House chief of staff under Wiles. After the midterm elections, which were run along Wiles’ game plan, per Means, Trump removed Wiles from her position and elevated Miller to the top job.

Miller is a firm believer in remigration, mass deportation, and America first policies. Trump initially came out after the midterms speaking about working with Democrats, but his promotion of Miller resulted in incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries declaring that Democrats would not work with the man he called a “stone-cold racist.”
