(CNN)Miles Taylor, a former senior Trump administration official, endorsed Joe Biden's presidential campaign on Monday, becoming one of the highest-ranking former Trump administration officials to do so.
Taylor, who served as chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, also accused President Donald Trump of repeatedly using his office for political purposes, including directing officials to cut wildfire relief funding to California because voters there overwhelmingly opposed him in 2016.
Taylor, a longtime Republican and political appointee at DHS from 2017 to 2019, endorsed the former vice president in a video produced by the group Republican Voters Against Trump in which he also made several allegations about Trump's conduct. He also wrote an op-ed published in The Washington Post calling the President "dangerous" for America.
What we saw week in and week out, for me, after two and a half years in that administration, was terrifying. We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue -- cyberattack, terrorism threat -- he wasn't interested in those things. To him, they weren't priorities," Taylor says in the video.

“Senior official” - BS!
Miles Taylor was probably a plant within the administration anyway. Who cares.
“Never heard of this guy”
Another Never Trumper who Trump rewarded with a cushy federal job.
I like Trump’s instincts on policy for the most part. As a personnel manager, he STINKS. He has not “given us the best.” Again and again, he has hired people who hate his agenda - and the people who voted for it.
Another Bush League Republican who is bitter that President Trump has disrupted the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
Exactly
Agree. The hiring pool was slim for him though being an outsider and I think he was forced to rely on republicrats for personnel suggestions.
He sure has missed on a few though!
Taylor, who served as chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen
Deep State plant Kirstjen Nielsen?? That traitor?
It says: “chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen”
The DNC or operatives say..hey here,s 300k..come out against Trump.
...”including directing officials to cut wildfire relief funding to California because voters there overwhelmingly opposed him in 2016.”
Yea, I think he is confused that it was the state that cut both the amount of money that they put in wildfire protection and forced the utilities to invest their fire prevention money into “GREEN ENERGY”!.
Because Obama never used the Office of the President to lean on the Tea Parties through the IRS and President Trump through the DOJ for political ends. /S
Partisan Media Shills update.
“Nielsen submitted her resignation as secretary of homeland security on April 7, 2019, after a White House meeting with President Trump, two days after the President announced he wanted to go in a “tougher” direction on immigration. ... Trump announced that intention following the resignation of Nielsen on April 7, 2019.”
I remember this.Trump fired this guy’s boss.
Yeah, on The Apprentice, he was always having to fire people.
Rubbish. ..
For example, Trump took out ISIS !
The first two Secretaries of DHS were both for open borders.
Both Kelly and Nielsen.
