Semafor, Fox News, RedState, Daily Mail and Raw Story report that Stephen Miller is now White House chief of staff and is reshaping staff roles. Fox News, RedState and Daily Mail describe a Miller memo giving cabinet secretaries more control over their messaging, a shift Fox News says sources link to Susie Wiles’ tight control. Raw Story says the memo reveals officials’ frustration under Wiles. Semafor reports, citing a White House official, that Meghan Bauer, who heads the Office of Cabinet Affairs, will move to a new role and Walker Barrett will move under the deputy chief of staff for policy. Multiple other sources told Semafor Bauer is expected to leave in coming weeks.

    Only Raw Story covers this from the left, and its headline casts the shake-up as exposing Susie Wiles’ ‘absolute control’ over the White House rather than as a policy change.

    Semafor’s headline, West Wing reshuffles as Miller settles in, centers staffing changes rather than the memo, presenting the moves as a settling-in process.
