White House aide Stephen Miller’s wife has claimed she and her husband bravely stared down an intimidation campaign that forced them to relocate from their home due to “terroristic” messages left in their driveway.
They landed taxpayer-subsidized military housing normally reserved for military officers after Katie Miller warned that protests outside their home had become a threat to her children.
But a police report apparently paints a very different picture of the September protests outside the family’s Arlington, Virginia home.
Miller, 34, appeared on Fox News in the wake of the protests, insisting to host Sean Hannity that the people “standing outside my home and writing chalk” were making “terroristic threats.” She later declared, “We will not back down. We will not cower in fear.”
The couple has since moved out and, in October, put the house on the market for $3.75 million after facing several demonstrations outside that included slogans like “trans rights are human rights.” They have joined a slew of other Trump officials in Washington-area military housing that shields them from any members of the public who might voice disapproval of the administration’s policies.
But an Arlington County Police report obtained by Zeteo undermines Miller’s characterization of the protests that sent them fleeing, explicitly describing the chalking as political messages rather than threats.
In an official write-up of the complaint, the reporting officer wrote: “The messages were non-threatening and alluded to political issues such as immigration, transgender rights, DEI, and white supremacy.”
Asked about the police report’s language, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the Daily Beast: “There’s been constant death threats against Stephen and his family as well as a highly sophisticated and organized doxxing campaign, tied with extremely violent and threatening rhetoric that is now the subject [of] ongoing state and federal inquiries.”
Jackson added: “The White House does not comment on ongoing investigations related to Administration officials and their housing or family security.”
Miller also posted a video on social media of her hosing off a message reading, “Stephen Miller is destroying democracy.” She later framed the protests as part of a pattern of harassment against Trump’s deputy chief of staff and his family.
In the same Fox News hit, Miller accused the protesters of “doxxing” the family, a claim that has figured heavily in investigations against one activist who had protested outside the family’s Arlington home.
Barbara Wien, 66, was accused of posting anti-Miller flyers and making an “I’m watching you” gesture toward Katie Miller.
In a legal fight over what counts as “doxxing,” a federal judge on Nov. 7 twice refused FBI bids to search Wien’s phone.
Arlington’s elected prosecutor, Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, also moved to narrow a prior state phone-search warrant, and the DOJ signaled it would appeal.
