Donald Trump praises Susie Wiles's work even as he replaces her with Stephen Miller. Speaking beneath an umbrella, the president presents the decision as a wish to change something, rather than a criticism of his outgoing chief of staff.
Germany's ARD news service tagesschau reports that Miller, previously Wiles's deputy, is taking over after the Republicans' midterm election defeat. The report describes him as a right-wing hardliner within Trump's circle, accompanying that introduction with archive footage of him delivering a speech.
The appointment changes a central White House position: the chief of staff helps manage the president's staff, access and daily priorities. Miller brings experience from Trump's first administration, when he served as a senior adviser.
The brief report then turns to an interview excerpt from 60 Minutes in which Trump praises his cabinet but says he expects to make some changes. It closes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seated at a conference table, as the narration describes speculation about his possible replacement. That is presented as speculation, not an announced departure.
