Deputy White House Chief of Staff Richard Walters, Longtime Ally of Susie Wiles, Resigns

Deputy White House Chief of Staff Richard Walters resigned late Friday night.

Richard Walter is a longtime ally of Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Susie Wiles was fired from her role as White House Chief of Staff last week.

President Trump announced that Stephen Miller will replace Wiles as White House Chief of Staff.

“I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Truth Social.

President Trump told reporters that he wanted a change.

“Sometimes you gotta make moves,” Trump said.

Fox News reported:

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters, a longtime ally of outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is leaving the Trump administration following President Donald Trump’s decision to replace Wiles with Stephen Miller.

Miller confirmed Walters’ departure in a statement to Fox News, describing him as an “invaluable member” of the White House who will continue to assist the administration from the outside.

“Richard has been an invaluable member of the White House and has helped deliver some of the Administration’s biggest victories. While he will be leaving us, Richard will continue to help from the outside as we continue to work with all of our strength to deliver for President Trump and his courageous fight to Save America,” Miller said.

The move ends Walters’ months-long tenure in the role, which he was appointed to in May 2026, according to LegiStorm. Walters previously served as executive director of the inaugural committee for Trump and Vice President JD Vance, according to Georgetown University, where he was a fellow at the Institute of Politics and Public Service.
