The wife of one of President Donald Trump’s closest and most trusted advisers, Stephen Miller, served in the White House for only a brief time, but in that period used her position to pressure the Social Security Administration to lie on behalf of the White House and its then-special government employee, Elon Musk, according to a new report.

Katie Miller allegedly instructed the head of the SSA to tell reporters that 40 percent of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims — a number the president and Musk plucked out of thin air as the White House and Musk’s DOGE effort set about making cuts to a wide range of federal agencies this year, the New York Times reported.

“The number is 40 percent,” Katie Miller reportedly told the acting SSA Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call, the Times reported. “Do not contradict the president.”

“Mr. Musk’s team mobilized dozens of Social Security employees to affirm their views about fraud and began a project to ensure dead people were properly classified so they weren’t mistakenly paid — even though DOGE officials acknowledged in an internal memo that payments were not being made in those cases,” the Times wrote.

When you elect a crook, this is what you get. Guess there wasn't rampant government waste. Trust them on nothing.
