Miles Taylor is an American former government official in the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, best known for his previously anonymous criticisms of Donald Trump. He was a Trump administration appointee who served in the United States Department of Homeland Security from 2017 to 2019, including as Chief of Staff to former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan.
In 2018, while deputy chief of staff to Nielsen, he wrote the New York Times op-ed “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration” under the pen-name ‘Anonymous’, which drew widespread attention for its criticism of Trump. In 2019, he published the book A Warning.[3]
In August 2020, while on leave from his job at Google, he produced an ad for Republican Voters Against Trump, denouncing Trump and endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Taylor was the first former senior Trump administration staffer to endorse Biden.[4]
In October 2020, Taylor revealed himself to be ‘Anonymous’.[5][6]
