Miller on Swalwell: Dems Have ‘Blackmail Files’ for when It Suits Them

Miller’s claim on Fox News drew backlash as he said Democrats keep blackmail files on members and use them to control politicians.

  • On Tuesday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News host Jesse Watters that the Democratic Party maintains control over members through "blackmail files" used to leverage politicians.
  • Miller's comments followed California Rep. Eric Swalwell's resignation from Congress on Monday amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations, including a former staffer alleging assault and rape.
  • Watters alleged on the same program that the Democratic Party knew about the congressman's "shenanigans" but refused to act until the situation became politically convenient.
  • Critics dismissed Miller's claims as a conspiracy, with Democratic Congressional candidate George Conway calling him a "sick man" on X, while behavioral scientist Caroline Orr Bueno questioned Republican scrutiny.
  • The House Ethics Committee probes ongoing sexual assault allegations, while the Department of Homeland Security pursues a separate inquiry into the former congressman's employment of a foreign nanny.
