NEW: Ex-Trump White House aide Stephen Miller has quietly retained his status as a US government employee and continues to earn a taxpayer-funded paycheck, per docs obtained by @thisisinsider via #FOIA ($) by @rbravender businessinsider.com/stephen-miller…
Miller has been busy lately trashing Biden's government. "It is not hyperbole but fact to say that at this moment in time we do not have a republic," Miller recently told Tucker Carlson, citing an influx of "uninvited" immigrants in the US who have "no right to be here."
Miller — the chief architect of former President Donald Trump's immigration policies and one of the most polarizing figures of the last administration — is also one of 14 staffers hired to work in the Office of the Former President, the government documents indicated.
Miller lists himself as a "senior advisor to President Trump" on Twitter. Taxpayers were set to pay him $10,000 a year to work for Trump's post-presidential office, according to a June 29 email.
Former presidents typically recede from public prominence for a while and use their taxpayer staff and resources to keep up with correspondence and cement their legacies by constructing libraries. As with all things Trump this is different.
He's hinting at another presidential run in 2024 &hasn't publicly signaled any plans for a physical library or museum. People close to the ex-POTUS told @thisisinsider that Trump saw library planning as a sign of him stepping out of politics.
