Miller’s alleged collaboration is further evidence that the House investigation into the Capitol Uprising is taking place at the doors of Trump’s Office, after the daughter and son-in-law of former President Ivanka Trump and Jared Kouchner, both former senior White House officials. House. counselors, have given their own testimony in recent weeks. According to two other sources cited by the Associated Press, it is unclear whether Miller will appear in person or in person before the nine-member bipartisan committee. The fact that he does not appear at all is a significant development, however, and probably another major blow to Trump’s efforts to cover up information on his movements on the day of the uprising and the subsequent attempts to overthrow the presidential election he lost to Joe Biden. Miller, who is considered Trump’s top aide throughout his term, has strongly resisted previous attempts to persuade him to testify after receiving a summons in November. At the time, Benny Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat who chairs the committee, said Miller was “involved in spreading false information about alleged voter fraud,” the basis of Trump’s big lie that his election defeat was rigged. . It remains to be seen how cooperative Miller will be in terms of the testimony he has to offer. It is possible that Miller’s decision to appear was prompted by last week’s House vote to scorn former Trump advisers Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino for refusing to comply with their own calls. Miller’s testimony – if he cooperates – could be some of the most valuable and compelling evidence to date from the Jan. 6 investigation into Trump’s involvement in the deadly uprising. Miller has always been on Trump’s side throughout his administration, an extremely loyal and focused character who has been credited as the mastermind of some of the most controversial and harsh policies he has pursued. An extremist known for his white nationalist and far-right views, Miller was central to almost every decision the former president made while in power, as well as the extremely hardline immigration policies that Trump would likely have pursued if he had won a second term. It is this belief in his old boss, and in Trumpism itself, that makes analysts wonder if Miller will indeed be forthcoming or invoke the fifth amendment to be challenged. There is already speculation that Miller’s agreement to appear – which neither he nor the commission has yet confirmed – was merely an exercise in averting the fate of Scavino and Navarro. Miller’s appearance tightens the committee’s focus on the final stages of its investigation into Trump’s inner circle, which has strongly promoted the big lie that his 2020 election defeat was a fraud. The former president’s actions on the day of the uprising and afterwards were brought under control, with a more recent revelation that the calls he made on January 6 were hidden from the official calendar. The investigation also looked at an illegal plot that allegedly prompted Trump and his supporters to propose fake voters to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the electorate. The commission said it was likely to hold public hearings this spring and a report is expected before this year’s by-elections. The poll shows that Republicans are in a strong position to win a majority in Parliament, so most observers believe they will close the poll if it is still ongoing.
