On Wednesday, President Trump lashed out at former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officialMiles Taylor, dismissing the author of an anonymous New York Times op-ed criticizing him as a “low-level staffer” and a “sleazebag.”
The President also said Miles Taylor should be “prosecuted” for penning the op-ed.
While speaking in Goodyear,AZ, the President told a rally crowd, "Anonymous was a nobody, a disgruntled employee who was quickly removed from his job a long time ago for, they tell me, incompetence."
The record shows that Miles Taylor served at DHS from 2017 to 2019 and for a period of time was former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s chief of staff.
Taylor revealed in a Medium post on Wednesday that he penned the op-ed that prompted buzz around Washington when it was published in September 2018.
In 2019, Taylor left the administration and has since been sharply critical of the president.
