Miles Taylor, the former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff who authored the controversial 2018 anonymous New York Times op-ed criticizing Donald Trump, is now facing severe personal and professional consequences following a presidential memorandum ordering an investigation into him.
According to Politico, in April, Trump issued an executive order calling for an investigation into Taylor, suggesting he had committed treason and revoking his security clearance. The order has been widely criticized as an abuse of executive power aimed at silencing Trump’s critics.
