Trump aide evades Epstein file question, goes on rant against Venezuela’s Maduro & Colombia’s Petro

White House senior advisor Stephen Miller spoke with reporters outside the West Wing, fielding questions on the Trump administration’s approach to Ukraine, the Epstein files release, Venezuela, border security, and transnational crime. Miller declined to reveal details about a rumored Ukraine peace memo or provide a timeline for signing the Epstein files transparency bill, saying those matters were already addressed by the communications team. On Venezuela and Colombia, Miller reiterated the administration’s priority of safeguarding the Western Hemisphere, promising the use of “lethal force” against narco-terrorist organizations and Mexican cartels threatening U.S. security and sovereignty.
