Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told President Trump before they met at the White House to negotiate an immigration deal he did not want Stephen Miller in the room, he recalled Friday.

“I had suggested when [Trump] called that we just have four people in the room: myself, my chief of staff, Mike Lynch, his chief of staff, Gen. [John] Kelly, and the president,” Schumer told the New York Times’ Michael Barbaro in a podcast published Friday. “And I said if you’re going to have Stephen Miller there or somebody like that, it’s not going to work. And he agreed.”
