After an “anonymous” federal government employee staffer went on the record and revealed himself to be a former staffer for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the White House and GOP went on the offensive, describing the staffer as a “low-level” official who didn’t work in the White House while asserting that The New York Times did the country a disservice by publishing his article.

“Miles Taylor today managed to discredit himself, The New York Times, and CNN, all in one fell swoop,” White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern told Fox News on Oct. 28. “And that is no easy feat. He showed that The New York Times will publish anonymous smears by a 20-something staffer, but they won’t publish on the record evidence from Tony Bobulinski with contemporaneous documents and devices proving that the Biden family may be compromised by communist China.”
