Katie Miller’s Past Relationship with Former Congressman Eric Swalwell Revealed

Katie Miller, now married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, previously dated former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell, who resigned after multiple sexual-misconduct accusations.

Katie Miller, a right-wing commentator and spouse of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, once dated former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell during an internship on Capitol Hill. Swalwell, who had previously run for president and later entered the California governor’s race, stepped down from Congress after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct, allegations he has denied. Miller has become an outspoken critic of Swalwell, labeling his behavior a “worst kept secret” on Capitol Hill and suggesting the Democratic Party uses blackmail files against its members.

Reports claim Swalwell threatened to expose their past relationship if the Justice Department released files concerning alleged Chinese spy Christine Fang, which Attorney General Pam Bondi ultimately chose not to release. Stephen Miller has echoed concerns about Democratic blackmail, while the Daily Beast has sought comment from both Miller and Swalwell.

Why it matters

The revelation ties a senior White House aide’s spouse to a disgraced lawmaker, highlighting political fallout and allegations of partisan blackmail.
