πΊπΈ A new internal memo from @WhiteHouse Chief of Staff @StephenM shifts the Cabinet Secretary role to Director of Cabinet Relations and lets each Cabinet leader control their own departmentβs communications.
Sources say the change ends the tighter, more centralized messaging rules that existed under former chief of staff @SusieWiles.
The memo also places the presidential scheduling office under Chamberlain Harris and names Caleb Orr as chief of staff for policy.
πΊπΈ Meghan Bauer, who heads the White House Office of Cabinet Affairs, is expected to leave her role by the end of the year, according to multiple @WhiteHouse officials.
A White House spokesperson said Bauer βis a valuable part of the team and will continue to work in the White House in a new role,β with sources indicating she will stay on temporarily to assist with the transition.
The move comes days after @POTUS replaced Chief of Staff @SusieWiles with @StephenM and said he plans βa few changesβ following the midterms.

Sentinels routinely enforce the siteβs strict silence rule multiple times a day.

Ole Miss has opened an investigation, and 1 of the women in the video has since dropped out of the university after publicly apologizing.

πΊπΈ A discharge petition for the Epstein Files Transparency Act II reached 218 signatures on Tuesday, clearing the threshold to force a House floor vote.
Every Democrat signed on, along with Republicans @RepThomasMassie, @RepNancyMace, @RepRalphNorman and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick.
The bill would allow survivors and state attorneys general to sue @TheJusticeDept to compel release of the files, and @SpeakerJohnson cannot block the vote once the petition is filed.
πΊπΈ @Republicans on the House @GOPoversight Committee released a 137-page report Tuesday, concluding that their 15-month probe into Jeffrey Epstein found no documents or testimony implicating @POTUS in criminal activity.
The report said witnesses examined by the panel stated that, to their knowledge, @realDonaldTrump was not involved in crimes committed by Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.
@TheDemocrats on the committee called the findings incomplete and said they plan to continue investigating when they take control of the panel in January.
πΊπΈ @NikkiHaley just said that she is not running for president in 2028.
She sought the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, remaining the last major challenger to @POTUS before suspending her campaign in March of that year.

πΊπΈ @DHSgov@SecMullinDHS defended the idea of a path to legal status for some DACA recipients during an interview on @FoxNews, arguing many were brought to the U.S. as children through no fault of their own.
Host @IngrahamAngle questioned why the Trump Admin would pursue an immigration compromise with @TheDemocrats, citing past failed deals and concerns that future Democrat administrations could reverse enforcement.
Mullin said any agreement would require support from the Republican base and that @POTUS would not sign a deal unless it served the countryβs interests.
πΊπΈ @DHSgov@SecMullinDHS said Monday he is open to bipartisan immigration reform that could provide permanent legal status to some illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children.
He stressed that any such deal would be up to Congress and that amnesty would not be part of the solution.
Mullin added that @POTUS wants him to work with @TheDemocrats on immigration.
