## Key points

- Stephen Miller’s memo signals more freedom for Cabinet communications.
- The Cabinet liaison role will be renamed Director of Cabinet Relations.
- The shift follows criticism of Susie Wiles’s tightly controlled messaging.

## Summary

A leaked White House memo suggests Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is giving Cabinet secretaries more freedom to communicate for their own departments, marking a shift from Susie Wiles’s more tightly controlled approach. The change matters because it could alter how the Trump administration presents its policies and supports Cabinet officials.

The memo renames the White House Cabinet Secretary role Director of Cabinet Relations, with the new post intended to support and reinforce department heads. Meghan Bauer, who has held the role since last November, is expected to leave by year’s end. The article cites criticism that Wiles restricted officials’ messaging, while also noting past concerns about Cabinet members acting without restraint, including a $220 million advertising campaign featuring former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
