Stephen Miller’s wife berated the head of the Social Security Administration to promote a false claim about rampant fraud on the agency’s customer service line that was being pushed by Elon Musk.

Katie Miller, a former White House aide who later joined Musk’s team full time, called then-acting SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek and bluntly told him to keep repeating that 40 percent of calls to the SSA were from scammers and fraudsters even though the claim had zero basis in fact.

“The number is 40 percent,” Miller told Dudek during an April 1 phone call, according to The New York Times. She insisted that Dudek stick to the figure, despite SSA staff writing a response to correct it, because Donald Trump believed Musk. “Do not contradict the president,” she said.

The Times cited the false SSA scammer stat as yet another example of how Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pushed misleading claims and fabricated data to justify its cost-cutting crusade.
