Scandalous Past Unveiled: Stephen Miller's Wife Allegedly Had Affair with Ex-Congressman Eric Swalwell During Her Internship

In a shocking revelation, it has been reported that former congressman Eric Swalwell, 45, was involved in a romantic liaison with Katie Miller, now wife of President Donald Trump's advisor Stephen Miller, when she was just a 22-year-old intern on Capitol Hill. The sensational story broke on Thursday, August 6, courtesy of Sources Say News, a renowned Capitol Hill blog. According to the report, this alleged relationship transpired over a decade ago, before Katie tied the knot with her husband at the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., on February 16, 2020. Stephen, who serves as both a homeland security advisor and deputy chief of staff to Trump, was reportedly unaware of his wife's past romance with Swalwell. In an apparent confirmation of the affair, Katie Miller simply tweeted on Thursday, "I was an intern working on Capitol Hill." Us Weekly has reached out to Katie, Eric Swalwell, and the White House for comments regarding this bombshell claim. The alleged tryst between the two has stirred up old allegations against Swalwell, a Democrat who represented California's 14th Congressional District from 2013 to 2023. Following multiple accusations of sexual misconduct including harassment, assault, and rape, Swalwell ended his bid for California governor and eventually resigned from office earlier this year. While he has denied the allegations, he admitted to engaging in extramarital relationships. Many political figures have pointed to this reported relationship as further evidence of Swalwell's questionable conduct during his time in office. Katie Miller's statement from April, shared on social media when the initial allegations against Swalwell surfaced, suggests that she may have been one of many interns impacted by his behavior: "As someone who doesn’t normally believe all women, I believe her — and the many lined up behind her. Eric Swalwell’s behavior was the worst kept secret on Capitol Hill. I’m positive she was not the only intern." Katie Miller went on to serve as communications director for Vice President Mike Pence from 2020 to 2021, before venturing into political podcasting and expanding her family with Stephen. They have four children together: daughter Mackenzie Jay and sons Jackson Grant, Hudson Monroe, and Hawthorne Hayes. Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April 2021, Katie had to publicly defend her husband after photos appeared to show him using her as a human shield during the chaos: "They could not give Stephen Miller a good news cycle if they tried. They had to make me a target," she said during an appearance on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle. "To that I would say, Stephen did a phenomenal job and he was behind me and protecting not only me, but our baby."
