Trump Accuses Ex-DHS Official Of Treason, Orders DOJ Investigation Over 'Resistance' Op-Ed
HuffPost
Miles Taylor, who wrote a scathing “anonymous” op-ed criticizing Trump in his first term, declared that "dissent isn't unlawful" in response to the president on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate two former officials from his first administration, including one whom he accused of being “guilty of treason.”
Trump, in a memorandum signed in the Oval Office, ripped ex-Homeland Security official Miles Taylor for writings Taylor made under an “anonymous” pseudonym, which notably include a highly critical 2018 op-ed in The New York Times where he described himself as part of the “resistance” to the president.
“His conduct could properly be characterized as treasonous and as possibly violating the Espionage Act,” read the memo, which stripped security details from Taylor and called on the DOJ to probe his work in the federal government.
Taylor later took to X, formerly Twitter, where he declared that “dissent isn’t unlawful” and it “certainly isn’t treasonous.”
“America is headed down a dark path. Never has a man so inelegantly proved another man’s point,” wrote Taylor, who served as chief of staff to Trump’s former DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
