White House staffers must receive approval from the Office of White House Counsel before meeting with lobbyists, according to a new memo from White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, per reports.
The New York Times reported on Nov. 13 that Stephen Miller’s office set a policy limiting White House staff meetings with lobbyists, aimed at showing independence from special interests. KGAN said staff need approval from the Office of White House Counsel before meeting lobbyists, while IndiaTimes described the rule as applying to meetings with registered lobbyists about policy matters. The reports differ in how they specify the meetings covered, and do not provide the full memo’s wording.
