## Summary

Susie Wiles is leaving her role as White House chief of staff, hours after Donald Trump said he expected to make several changes to his administration following Republicans’ poor midterm results. Stephen Miller will replace her, and Trump’s remarks suggest further departures may follow.

In a 60 Minutes interview recorded on Friday morning, Trump said he would make “a few changes” but declined to name anyone. He expressed confidence in Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, whom correspondent Ross Douthat had seen at the White House. The interview was recorded before Wiles’s departure was announced and is scheduled to air on Sunday.
