## Key points

- White House staff need prior approval to meet lobbyists.
- Lobbyists say Miller focuses on policy outcomes and Trump’s agenda.
- Some are seeking access through other White House policy offices.

## Summary

White House chief of staff Stephen Miller has barred executive staff from meeting lobbyists unless they first receive approval from the Office of White House Counsel. The rule could make it harder for lobbyists to gain access to the Trump administration and marks a shift towards prioritising policy outcomes over relationship-building.

A dozen Republican lobbyists told Politico they expect Miller’s approach and his loyalty to President Donald Trump to limit their influence. Some are reconsidering how to work with the administration, while others are trying to reach staff in the Domestic Policy Council and National Economic Council instead. The change contrasts with former chief of staff Susie Wiles, who valued relationships with lobbying groups.
