Miller’s Race Against Time

When Attorney General Todd Blanche arrived at the Ritz Carlton in Pentagon City for the America First Legal gala, he wasn’t wearing formal attire. The Wednesday evening gathering in late September brought together senior Department of Justice officials and legal staff from across the administration, and even the Attorney General. But the person who commanded the most attention–and was responsible for the Attorney General’s outfit–was the youngest and one of the few without a law degree. Blanche remarked that Stephen Miller told him not to bother with formal wear.

Five weeks later, Republicans suffered a decisive defeat on Election Day, and within a few days the Trump Administration quickly made moves to combat the Democratic dynasty soon taking over. The first and most lethal weapon President Trump has deployed: newly-appointed Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

“I wanted to make a change,” President Trump told us on the South Lawn when asked about the appointment. “I think Susie has done a very good job, but… We gotta make moves. Sometimes in life, you have to make moves.”
