Katie Miller covertly lobbied for weeks for her husband, MAGA hardliner Stephen Miller, to be appointed White House chief of staff.

The MAGA podcaster said Friday she was at a “loss for words” after seeing an “outpouring of support” for her husband taking on the role, but Politico reports that she had actually been a driving force for that support behind the scenes. Two insiders told the publication that she’d made dozens of calls to people close to Trump over several weeks to get them to recommend her husband as a replacement for Susie Wiles.

Katie Miller told people she called that if Wiles were to leave it should be her husband to replace her and “I would appreciate if you could share that message,” a source told the publication.

Trump has long sought advice from allies and aides in phone calls before hiring or firing officials.
