Trump calls for DOJ probe of ‘Anonymous’ author, suggests guilty of ‘treason’

April 10, 2025 | | Print Article

President Trump continues to drain the D.C. swamp with federal probes into a suspected leaker and a cybersecurity official.

“I think he’s guilty of treason, if you want to know the truth, but we’ll find out … terrible guy,” Trump said of Miles Taylor, author of “Anonymous” and former chief of staff of the Department of Homeland Security.

Taylor ignited excitement among leftist ranks when he disingenuously touted himself “a senior official in the Trump administration … working diligently from within to frustrate parts of [Trump’s] agenda and his worst inclinations,” in a 2018 New York Times op-ed, according to the New York Post.

Taylor dashed Democrat dreams in 2020 when he outed himself, and it became apparent that he wasn’t part of Trump’s inner orbit.

Now it’s time to pay the piper.

“It’s like a traitor, it’s like spying. He walks into the office. He’s supposed to be sitting here,” Trump said as he signed the order for the investigation. “He wrote a book ‘Anonymous’, and I always thought it was terrible — and now we have a chance to find out whether or not it was terrible — but it was, it was a work of fiction and he got a lot of publicity, got himself a nice job with CNN or one of them. And I think we have to do something about it.”

Trump reportedly revoked security clearance and signed a similar order to investigate the suspicious claims of Christopher Krebs, former director of cybersecurity.

Krebs made a name for himself by disputing Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

“We’re going to find out about this guy, too, because this guy’s a wiseguy,” Trump said.

“He said, This is the safest election we’ve ever had. And yet, every day you read in the papers about more and more fraud that’s discovered. He’s the fraud. He’s a disgrace. So we’ll find out whether or not it was a safe election. And if it wasn’t, he’s got a big price to pay,” Trump said.

“This is an honor,” Trump continued. “We’re going to find out whether or not he was right. This was a disgraceful election. And this guy sat back saying, ‘Well, I’m a member —’ like he’s a Republican or something … and he’s tried to make the case that this election was a safe election.”

Taylor clapped back at Trump’s order.

“Dissent isn’t unlawful. It certainly isn’t treasonous,” Taylor stated on X. “America is headed down a dark path. Never has a man so inelegantly proved another man’s point.”

Trump supporters relished the orders and hoped to see accountability.
