Three outlets report that President Donald Trump named Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles beginning Monday. Rep. Robert Garcia, the Democrat set to lead the House Oversight Committee in the new Congress, said Oversight Democrats would investigate Miller for his misconduct and told him to “lawyer up.” Garcia said Miller was the architect of ICE raids that killed and kidnapped citizens. Raw Story and MeidasTouch say the move came days after Republicans lost the midterm elections, which handed Democrats control of Congress.
