CNN: Trump Shows No Signs of Conciliation or Compromise with Dems in Assigning Stephen Miller Chief of Staff

‘The president making clear that he is not going to leave the stage quietly’

EXCERPT:

LIPTAK: "So the president there saying that a lot of people didn‘t like what the vice president was saying about the Iran war and its effect on the midterm elections, really kind of a striking rebuke, in some ways, of what the vice president was suggesting there. And you already see how this could be potentially dividing some of the president‘s advisers. Pete Hegseth, who has been a proponent of the Iran war, now the target of congressional lawmakers that impeachment proceeding could potentially begin as early as next week. Thomas Massie, the Republican from Kentucky, says that he‘ll introduce those impeachment articles as soon as Congress is back. And the real fear that you hear among White House officials is that Republicans who now feel like they have nothing to lose, including many Republicans who did, in fact, lose, will come back and be much more supportive of that, much more -- much less loyal to President Trump, potentially, as they face down this political reckoning."
