Chief of Staff Stephen Miller Institutes New Rules Against Staffers Meeting Lobbyists in White House
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | November 13, 2026 | Sundance

According to the apex predators on K-Street, Stephen Miller doesn’t play the lobbyist game, and they call him an ideologue because he’s not transactional.  In other words, Miller doesn’t let lobbyists influence decisionmaking.

Now that Stephen Miller is the Chief of Staff, he has informed White House staff they are not allowed to meet with lobbyists on the grounds of the White House.

The informal relationship era of Susie Wiles is gone.

According to Politico – […] “The memo likely won’t shock lobbyists on K Street where Miller has few friends.

He eschews relationship-based favors. He doesn’t sway easily on issues. He’s ideologically driven and fiercely loyal to President Donald Trump. That makes his elevation to chief of staff difficult for lobbyists seeking to influence the administration in its last two years, a dozen GOP lobbyists told POLITICO.

“The thing with Stephen is, he’s not someone that a lobbyist goes in and has to crack or try to win over,” said Hunter Morgen, a lobbyist at Ballard Partners who worked with Miller at the White House during the first Trump administration. “He doesn’t operate based on relationships. He operates based on policy outcomes that will advance the president’s agenda.”

“President Trump’s loyalty is to the American people, not lobbyists. His team is dedicated to advancing the President’s agenda, not the agenda of D.C. lobbyists,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said. “All of the White House components continue to work in lockstep to implement President Trump’s America First agenda.”

[…]  “He’s impossible to lobby, no one can do it, not even the people that you would think are closest,” one of those lobbyists said. “I think he’s more reasonable than he’s being portrayed, but he’s not swayed by lobbying.”

That’s a clear distinction between Miller and Wiles, who built a lobbying career at Ballard Partners and Mercury Public Affairs before going to work for Trump. Miller’s background doesn’t lend itself to a close relationship with a single lobbying shop the way Wiles’ did. (read more)

What an amazing man Stephen Miller is. Too bad he hasn’t been in the position all along.
