'Unconstitutional!' Stephen Miller melts down after judge blocks Elon Musk at Treasury

Raw Story  

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller lashed out at "radical left" judges who have blocked Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Treasury Department's federal payments system. During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Miller to respond to "efforts by some of these liberal judges to stop President Trump from allowing Elon Musk access to these issues." Miller accused "rogue bureaucrats who are elected by no one" of running the government — but he wasn't talking about Musk. "Whether it be with the Treasury bureaucrats or the FBI bureaucrats or the CIA bureaucrats or the USAID bureaucrats, with this unelected shadow force that is running our government and running our country!"
