Stephen Miller for National Security Advisor? Bring it on!
By Monica Showalter
Sure, it's a weather balloon, but sometimes these weather balloons turn out to be right.
Axios is reporting that Stephen Miller is in line to be President Trump's National Security Advisor, now that Mike Waltz has been asked to lead the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
President Trump's top policy adviser, Stephen Miller, is garnering buzz inside the White House as a top candidate to be the next national security adviser, five sources familiar with the situation tell Axios.
Why it matters: Miller — the deputy chief of staff and the brain behind Trump's controversial immigration crackdown — is one of the president's longest-serving and most-trusted aides.
Miller's name surfaced shortly after Trump removed Mike Waltz as national security adviser on Thursday and nominated Waltz to become the next United Nations ambassador.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is temporarily taking over Waltz's responsibilities, but sources familiar with his thinking say he's busy enough running the State Department.
Zoom in: Miller already is the administration's Homeland Security adviser, and is an aggressive defender of the administration's legal push for immediate deportations of unauthorized immigrants without court hearings.
One White House source told Axios via text that Miller has made the Homeland Security Council run "like clockwork," and that it's "infinitely more effective than the NSC [National Security Council] with a tiny fraction" of the staff.
That would be the knife-sharp advisor who was last seen fileting the media beast:
