Ex-Homeland Security official Taylor fights back against Trump’s ‘unprecedented’ investigation order

  • Former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor spoke out in April 2025 against President Trump’s unprecedented order to investigate him and strip his security clearances.
  • Trump issued a memorandum on April 9, 2025, directing Homeland Security and other agencies to investigate Taylor, who had anonymously criticized Trump in a 2018 op-ed.
  • The memo accused Taylor of fabricating stories for book sales and aimed to suppress criticism of the president, while Taylor’s lawyer called it political retribution targeting Taylor alone for speaking out.
  • Taylor said the order caused an implosion in his life, led to harassment of his family and job losses for former colleagues, and warned that the president can now investigate any private citizen at will.
  • Taylor and his legal team allege Trump’s actions are unconstitutional abuses of power violating First and Fifth Amendment rights and called on inspectors general to investigate and prevent further abuses.
