Ex-DHS Chief of Staff Under Trump Endorses Joe Biden for President

HeadlineAug 18, 2020

The former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security under President Trump has publicly endorsed Joe Biden as president. In a video for Republican Voters Against Trump, Miles Taylor said Trump wanted to exploit DHS to fuel his own agenda.

Miles Taylor: “The things he wanted to do not only were impossible, but, in many cases, illegal. He didn’t want us to tell him it was illegal anymore, because he knew that there were — and these were his words — he knew that he had 'magical authorities.' He was one of the most unfocused and undisciplined senior executives I’ve ever encountered.”
