WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 27: Senior advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump Stephen Miller watches as U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivers remarks during the daily White House press briefing March 27, 2017 in Washington, DC.
President Donald Trump attended the wedding of his senior adviser, Stephen Miller, on Sunday.
Miller’s wedding took place at one of Trump’s hotels, just blocks from the White House. He had been engaged to Katie Waldman, Vice President Mike Pence‘s press secretary.
Miller is a Trump loyalist, being one of the few original staffers from 2016 still remaining in the White House. He has helped shape the Trump administration’s immigration policies, which have culminated in the infamous Muslim ban and family separation policy at the Mexican border.
Waldman also has ties to policies regarding illegal immigration at the Mexican border, as she previously served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security.
