A top White House adviser is responsible for making multiple officials cry at work, according to new reporting.
Rolling Stone over the weekend dropped an in-depth piece on White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller. As part of that reporting, the outlet noted that "paranoid" Trump officials were "whispering" nicknames for Miller behind his back.
Additionally, the outlet reported that Trump himself insults his "awkward" policy hawk.
Rolling Stone goes even further in the piece by describing how Miller is to worth with, and for.
"His berating of intra-departmental and agency officials has become the stuff of legend, if not waking nightmares," the report states. "Since the beginning of the second Trump administration, two sources who’ve worked in the federal government and have personally dealt with Miller tell Rolling Stone that his berating has made them each cry at work."
The Rolling Stone report goes on to describe specifics.
"During intra-agency discussions, Miller has routinely name-called, yelled, threatened officials’ jobs or future in the party, and attempted to humiliate people in front of their colleagues. He becomes enraged if he feels the immigrant-arrest numbers aren’t padded enough, or if he believes Trump’s domestic agenda is being stalled, even slightly," the report states. "He is known for working long hours and micromanaging the brutal policies coming out of the new administration."
It adds, "He has a longstanding reputation, dating back to 2017, in the Republican upper ranks as someone willing to say anything, do anything, and betray almost anyone, in the service of Trump and, more vitally, keeping his power and proximity to the president intact."
