Stephen Miller becomes White House Chief of Staff tomorrow, and from where I’m sitting, it looks like the man about to run the White House was bought and paid for before he walked in the door. I followed the money around him and his wife Katie, and it leads to Elon Musk, a foreign government’s lobbyists, her father’s mailbox and investors nobody is allowed to see.
Full article is up on my Substack now (link in bio and it’s free). Highlights below:
* Red Flag 1: A dark money group funded by Elon Musk sent $43 million to a group that Miller’s own charity controls. That is Musk money flowing into Miller’s political machine, and none of it has to be disclosed to you.
* Red Flag 2: Musk’s super PAC paid Katie Miller’s firm $884,367, and some of that money came while she was working beside him at DOGE. She was on his payroll and inside the government at the same time.
* Red Flag 3: Katie bought more than $1 million of stock in Musk’s AI company one business day before the Pentagon announced it would use that AI. The trade was never reported, and the rules say it should have been.
* Red Flag 4: Abu Dhabi’s state AI fund owns a piece of that same company. Eight days before Miller got the job, a firm in the same consulting group Katie came from signed a $100,000-a-month contract with the UAE. So, a foreign government now has money on both sides of this household.
* Red Flag 5: Miller was paid $202,000 through a family company listed in his father-in-law’s name. Its clients were the Trump campaign and the Trump-Vance transition, and the transition still won’t say who its donors are. So we don’t know whose money paid him (owns him).
* Red Flag 6: The dark money group Miller’s charity controls paid $156,000 to Borglum LLC, a company with no Florida registration and no named owner. Its address was box 361, the same mailbox as that family company. Based on the records, I think that donor money landed with the Millers.
* Red Flag 7: Katie Miller’s podcast gets about 15,000 views an episode, yet her podcast company has 3,333,333 preferred shares for investors who never have to be named. Nobody puts money into a 15,000-view podcast for the ratings. So who bought in, and what did they get?
* Red Flag 8: About $1.4 million in their kids’ accounts disappears from his ethics form with no sale reported, and a sale of stock in a Pentagon-backed company was reported at less than half of what it was worth. That form is the only way the public can see what the Chief of Staff owns, and it doesn’t match the money.
Any one of these might have an innocent explanation. But eight of them around the most powerful staffer in the White House shows a pattern, and the public deserves to know who is paying him.
