  "account": "On Friday, US President Donald Trump appointed Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, following the Republican Party's losses in the midterm elections. Miller, a trusted aide with a history of advocating for expansive presidential authority, will assume the role at a time when the president confronts a Democratic-led Congress and potential congressional investigations into his administration. Trump praised Miller as \"one of my most trusted advisers\" and highlighted Wiles' outstanding performance. The White House official stated that the appointment demonstrates Trump's unwillingness to alter his policies despite the midterm election defeat, signaling a possible shift towards a more confrontational approach.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump named trusted aide Stephen Miller as his chief of staff on Friday, giving the architect of some of his toughest domestic policies one of the most powerful jobs in Washington after Republicans lost control of Congress.",
