Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters to Exit White House After Susie Wiles Replacement

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters, a longtime associate of former chief of staff Susie Wiles, announced his departure after President Donald Trump named Stephen Miller as the new chief of staff. Miller said Walters had been "an invaluable member of the White House and has helped deliver some of the Administration’s biggest victories" and noted that Walters will continue to assist the administration from outside the White House.

The change comes as the president reorganizes his team in the wake of the recent midterm elections, with Miller expected to install his own leadership staff when he assumes the chief-of-staff role on Monday. Miller's wife, Katie Miller, also said she will pause recording new episodes of her podcast, citing family priorities and the shift in her husband's responsibilities.

"With @StephenM taking on this new role for President Trump, I’ve decided to stop recording new podcast episodes," she posted on X, adding that she will continue to support the president and his team from outside the administration.
