The new White House Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, issued an internal memo prohibiting White House employees from meeting with registered lobbyists on White House grounds regarding policy matters without prior approval from the Office of Legal Counsel. The directive comes just days after Miller replaced Susie Wiles in the role, and amid allegations of lobbyist influence during her tenure. The move does not completely ban meetings but requires prior approval, signaling a shift in approach to interest group access. In a speech at Mar-a-Lago, Miller declared absolute loyalty to Trump, stating, "This man saved America." The article notes that Miller will now have to manage the White House facing a Democrat-controlled Congress and a president not known for organizational discipline.
