A former top aide to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an interview Sunday with CBS News' "Face the Nation," alleged that lobbying firm Ballard Partners "controlled" White House policy, and claimed its rise to become the top-earning lobbying firm "did not happen by accident."
President Trump's former chief of staff, Susie Wiles, worked at the firm for nearly a decade as a managing partner, leaving in 2019. Wiles and Brian Ballard have both called the claims false.
Ballard Partners' more than $88 million in lobbying revenue last year was, at the time, the most any firm had reported since the Lobbying Disclosure Act took effect in 1996, even after adjusting for inflation, a CBS News analysis of Senate lobbying disclosures found. Through the first three quarters of 2026, the firm has already surpassed that, reporting more than $98 million. cbsn.ws/4k8zPXN

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott placed Texas at the center of the immigration debate for years, launching aggressive state-led efforts to clamp down on border crossings and antagonizing Democrats by busing thousands of migrants to blue cities across the country.
But Democrat Gina Hinojosa's election as governor has flipped that dynamic on its head, and Texas' run as a loyal partner in President Donald Trump's immigration machine is likely over. cnn.it/4AeaFLY
