A Stephen Miller immigration aide helped impeach Mayorkas
SalonA senior staffer on the House Republican team that prosecuted Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was a valued member of Stephen Miller’s immigration team in the Trump White House, internal emails show. “Can you find a good place for him when his detail ends at White House?” John Zadrozny, who was on Trump’s Domestic Policy Council, had been cc’ed on Miller’s email. When Miller asks for an update the next day, Hamilton assures him, “We will find a place that suits his strengths.” Miller says, “It should be something that touches on border security law enforcement narcotics so he can stay part of the team.” There’s no public record of Whetstone’s work with the Trump immigration team. Four months later, in November 2018, Miller wrote in an email that Whetstone was part of the “full immigration team.” In last month’s impeachment report from the House Homeland Security Committee, there’s no general counsel listed, but Whetstone is named as deputy general counsel, above the committee’s other attorneys.
