CNN: Former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor Behind the 2018 NYT Op-Ed Critical of Trump

‘Miles Taylor is also now a CNN contributor, although we did not know this until today’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "And we have some breaking news for you: the identity of Anonymous revealed. We now know who the senior administration official was who wrote that alarming 2018 New York Times op-ed titled 'I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,' which detailed how the author and other members of the Trump administration deliberately worked to undermine orders by President Trump for the good of the nation because they believed President Trump was amoral and damaging the United States. The official also wrote a book called A Warning, published late last year. Now CNN has learned the identity of that anonymous author which has been a source of a great deal of speculation. That anonymous senior administration official is the now former Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security, Miles Taylor. In a lengthy statement just released, Taylor says 'I wrote a warning, a character study of the current commander-in-chief and a caution to voters that it wasn't as bad as it looked inside the Trump administration, it was worse. While I claim sole authorship of the work, the sentiments expressed within it were widely held among officials at the highest levels of the federal government. In other words, Trump's own lieutenants were alarmed by his instability.'”
