[0:00] language about the future of Susie
[0:02] Wilds. The president is saying she's
[0:04] transitioning over, he says, uh, to the
[0:07] Trump political operation. We've also
[0:10] heard that some deals were cut between
[0:12] Susie Wilds and the president before he
[0:15] ever got into office, how he would
[0:17] handle major decisions while in office.
[0:21] A lot of reports out there say that
[0:22] Susie said to him, "Look, this is not
[0:24] going to be a White House where we fire
[0:26] people." And so, you're seeing there,
[0:28] she's not fired. She's being moved and
[0:30] we have seen that as a pattern in the
[0:33] Trump administration when people have
[0:35] come and when they've gone from the
[0:36] Trump administration some like the
[0:38] recent White House press secretary.
[0:48] This is CBS News special report. I'm
[0:50] Tony Dul. We're coming on the air
[0:52] because just moments ago, President
[0:53] Trump announced that Steven Miller will
[0:55] become the new White House chief of
[0:57] staff. Miller, currently the deputy
[0:59] chief of staff, will replace Susie
[1:01] Wilds. For more on this, let's go to
[1:03] senior White House correspondent Ouija
[1:04] Jiang. Ouija, I think this is a
[1:06] surprising move for many because one of
[1:08] the lessons of the midterm elections, at
[1:11] least the interpretation from many
[1:12] Republicans, is that they had gone too
[1:14] far on immigration and mass
[1:17] deportations. And now you have Steven
[1:19] Miller, the architect of all that, being
[1:21] elevated instead of fired. How do you
[1:23] read it?
[1:26] Well, Tony, it is a surprise for that
[1:28] very reason because Steven Miller is the
[1:31] architect of the president's hardline
[1:34] immigration policies, which as you
