Trumps New Chief of Staff Is Putting Lobbyists on

Okay Street lobbyists in Washington are waking up to a different set of guidelines this Friday. President Trump’s new, somewhat combative Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, has belled that cat. Now lobbyists cannot meet with any White House workers without that workers member first getting the specific permission of the Office of the While House Counsel. That’s in all probability inflicting some consternation amongst lobbyists, and just in time for the weekend!

According to a memo from the chief of workers workplace first obtained by POLITICO, White House workers must obtain prior approval from the Office of White House Counsel if they need to meet with a lobbyist.

“No President in history has fought more relentlessly, selflessly or courageously for the American People than President Trump. Following his example, White House staff are expected to dedicate their time unwaveringly to the working people of the nation,” the memo from Miller’s workplace said.

The prior approval covers conferences on the White House complicated with registered lobbyists associated to authorities coverage. The Office of Public Liaison will continue to serve as the first level of contact for engagement with exterior stakeholders, the memo said.

The memo possible gained’t shock lobbyists on Okay Street where Miller has few mates.

From what we now have seen of the new Chief of Staff’s profession, he might not only not have many mates on Okay Street, but he in all probability would not need many mates on Okay Street. That’s a good factor. The Chief of Staff must be the man managing messaging, as properly as the access to the administration as a entire — particularly by people who have one thing to promote. 

One lobbyist spoke to Politico, and makes a good level about how Mr. Miller operates.

“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 labored 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.”

It could be preferable to have him be somebody that is just merely inconceivable for a lobbyist to crack or strive to win over. That’s not his job. His job is, as famous, shifting the president’s agenda ahead, and that’s a activity that, in January, will get an order of magnitude more sophisticated, and more troublesome. But Stephen Miller would appear to be up to it.

This assertion comes on the heels of some fairly severe shakeups in President Trump’s internal circle, including the sudden departure of the previous Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. Now, workers shakeups at the White House aren’t precisely uncommon, particularly when the seated president’s social gathering takes a midterm drubbing just like the 2026 elections. Miller is seen as more of a MAGA hardliner than Susie Wiles. He has a repute for being the coverage equal of a bare-knuckle brawler, and that could be just what the administration wants proper now, because there are difficult instances forward, and that’s for sure and for sure.

So, as the saying goes, the instances, they’re a ‘altering. Life on Okay Street just obtained a little more sophisticated. And, frankly, it is a secure wager most Americans will see that as a good factor.
