自从唐纳德·特朗普总统将他选为白宫幕僚长以来，斯蒂芬·米勒已深入钻研西翼运作的细枝末节，甚至细致到分配员工的停车位和门禁权限。
Since President Donald Trump tapped him as White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller has dug into the granular details of West Wing operations, down to assigning staffers’ parking spots and badge access.
据四位直接了解米勒上任初期情况的人士向MS NOW透露，这些举动是这位长期担任特朗普顾问的人更广泛努力的一部分，目的是将决策权直接集中到自己手中。这四位人士获准匿名，以便坦率谈论迅速变化的西翼。
The moves are part of a broader effort by the longtime Trump adviser to route decision-making directly through himself, according to four people with direct knowledge of Miller’s first days in the job who spoke with MS NOW and were granted anonymity to speak candidly about a quickly evolving West Wing.
多位了解米勒计划的人士称，米勒希望在白宫内部实行更加层级化的结构，倾向于采用一张有更多直接汇报线指向他的组织架构图。其中一人说，问题在于特朗普更喜欢非正式的氛围，让顾问和助手能够直接接触他，而不需要传统的把关人。
Miller wants to implement a more hierarchical structure inside the White House, leaning into an organizational chart with more direct lines coming to him, according to multiple people familiar with his plans. The problem, one of those people said, is that Trump prefers an informal atmosphere in which advisers and aides have direct access to him without a traditional gatekeeper.
据一位了解情况的消息人士称，米勒尚未召开全体 staff 会议。
Miller has yet to hold an all-staff meeting, according to one source familiar with the matter.
相反，据三位消息人士称，他与妻子凯蒂·米勒协调，已开始接触少数几个人，商讨加入白宫的事宜。此前，几名员工已随他的前任苏西·怀尔斯一同离职。
Instead, in coordination with his wife, Katie Miller, they have begun reaching out to a few individuals about joining the White House after several staffers departed along with his predecessor, Susie Wiles, according to three of the sources.
了解内部讨论的消息人士告诉MS NOW，米勒并不打算在最初的举措之外进一步清洗办公室。这些初步举措他已在本周发给员工的一份新的重组备忘录中概述。
The sources familiar with internal deliberations tell MS NOW that Miller is not seeking to further purge the office beyond his initial moves that he outlined in a new restructuring memo sent to staff this week.
据MS NOW获得的备忘录以及一名直接了解相关计划的知情人士向MS NOW证实，为精简政策团队运作，米勒计划让两个高级职位保持空缺。负责立法、政治和公共事务的副幕僚长理查德·沃尔特斯本周早些时候宣布离职，他的职位将不会直接补缺。白宫内阁秘书梅根·鲍尔也不会有人直接接替。鲍尔即将离任，她此前担任总统与寻求进入西翼会面的内阁部长之间的中间人。
To streamline his policy operation, Miller plans to leave two senior roles unfilled, according to that memo obtained by MS NOW and confirmed by one of those sources with direct knowledge of the plans. Richard Walters, the deputy chief of staff for legislative political and public affairs, who announced his departure earlier this week, will not be directly replaced. Neither will Meghan Bauer, the White House Cabinet secretary, who is leaving her role, in which she served as an intermediary between the president and Cabinet secretaries seeking West Wing meetings.
据这些消息人士称，今后内阁部长若要接触总统，需通过米勒和“外椭圆办公室行动”主任张伯伦·哈里斯。哈里斯是一名关键助手，与娜塔莉·哈普和玛戈·马丁一同坐在椭圆形办公室门外，她将留任原职。
According to those sources, for access to the president, cabinet secretaries will now go through Miller and Chamberlain Harris, the director of outer Oval operations. Harris, a key aide who sits with Natalie Harp and Margo Martin just outside the Oval Office, will stay on in her role.
凯蒂·米勒的参与是一次转折。据两名直接知情人士称，2025年，威尔斯曾下令切断她的白宫通行证权限。凯蒂·米勒此前曾担任埃隆·马斯克的顾问，同时以特别政府雇员身份在所谓的“政府效率部”工作，后来离开政府，前往SpaceX为马斯克工作。
Katie Miller’s involvement is a turnabout. In 2025, Wiles ordered her White House badge access to be cut off, according to two sources with direct knowledge. Katie Miller had previously been an adviser to Elon Musk while serving as a special government employee with the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, and later left the administration to work for Musk at SpaceX.
据一名直接知情人士称，她不会以正式职位加入政府，但在帮助重组人员配置方面发挥了重要作用。随着丈夫接手总统的幕僚团队，她也在退出若干合同并停办自己的播客。
According to a source with direct knowledge, she will not join the administration in an official position but has played a significant role in helping restructure staffing. She is also stepping away from several contracts and her podcast as her husband takes over the president’s staff.
米勒此前的职责现将拆分为两个职位。政策顾问凯莱布·奥尔将接替米勒原来的职位，出任负责政策的副幕僚长。现任副国土安全顾问、移民和海关执法局国土安全调查负责人托尼·索尔兹伯里将升任国土安全顾问。白宫未立即回应MS NOW的置评请求。
Miller’s previous responsibilities will now be split into two roles. Caleb Orr, a policy adviser, will take Miller’s old post as deputy chief of staff for policy. Tony Salisbury, currently the deputy homeland security adviser and head of Homeland Security Investigations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will be elevated to homeland security adviser. The White House did not immediately respond to MS NOW’s request for comment.
