Trump names Stephen Miller chief of staff after midterm losses

Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller, architect of his hardline immigration policies and a former senior adviser, as chief of staff. Miller will replace Susie Wiles, who resigned after Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress; Trump said she would move to his “Trump Political Operation”. Several Justice Department officials have also left their posts since the midterm elections, while Democrats, including Robert Garcia, criticised Miller’s appointment and vowed to continue investigating him.
