During a CNN interview, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller stated that President Trump had “plenary authority” regarding the deployment of the National Guard in Oregon, before abruptly cutting himself off. This statement has raised concerns due to the implications of plenary authority, which grants a single official absolute power, contradicting the U.S. system of separation of powers. The use of such authority has drawn comparison to dictators and prompted protests against perceived overreach by the Trump administration. Miller’s silence and the subsequent lack of further clarification have left the meaning behind the statement unclear.

Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, has publicly criticized his nephew, including agreeing with a commenter who called Miller a “depraved fiend.” Glosser has previously accused Miller of white nationalism and using propaganda tactics.
