END PRESIDENTIAL REVENGE
The legal defense fund to end presidential revenge against Miles Taylor & other whistleblowers
JOIN OVER 200 BIPARTISAN NATIONAL LEADERS SAYING
“No President Should Be Allowed to Use the White House for Retaliation”

HISTORY WILL NOT FORGET WHO STOOD SILENT.
President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on April 9, 2025, directing federal agencies to investigate Miles Taylor, a former Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland security, for his public criticisms of the president.
This appears to be the first time in U.S. history that a president has explicitly invoked his investigative powers – to potentially include criminal prosecution through an Executive Order to target a named private citizen for dissent.
Legal and national security experts have denounced the Executive Order as a retaliatory act, one that raises serious constitutional questions about the use of presidential power and the rights of individuals who speak out. The consequences are real. Miles has already faced threats to his family’s safety and financial stability.
All proceeds will go toward legal and/or security expenses directly associated with any federal actions taken against Miles and and others fighting back against Trump’s unprecedented retaliation.
Help stop this president – or any president (regardless of political party) – from being able to persecute private citizens.
WHO IS STANDING UP
Over 225 prominent former government officials and American leaders joined an open letter condemning Trump’s retaliatory investigations targeting Miles and Chris Krebs, another former Trump official similarly targeted by Executive Order because he dared to assert the 2020 election was fair and legal.
The forceful statement marked the largest, joint bipartisan repudiation of any targeted executive action in President Trump’s second term. The signatories blasted the Executive Orders as a “dangerous escalation in the abuse of presidential power” and a “profoundly unconstitutional break with tradition.”
Signatories included: nearly a dozen former officials from Trump’s first term, such as Ty Cobb, Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet (ret.), John Mitnick, Elizabeth Neumann, Anthony Scaramucci, Olivia Troye, and Alexander Vindman; former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt; dozens of Republican and Democratic members of Congress, such as Charlie Dent, Reid Ribble, Kathleen Rice, Christopher Shays; former Senators Barbara Boxer, Bob Kerrey, Mark Udall, and Tim Wirth; former CIA Directors Gen. Michael Hayden and William Webster; former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe; former Governors Arne Carlson, Christine Todd-Whitman, and Mark Sanford; former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta; former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Acting Attorney General Stuart Gerson; ex-presidential advisors Paul Begala and Bill Kristol; dozens of conservative and progressive policy luminaries such as John Bellinger, Rosa Brooks, George Conway, Joseph Nye, Richard Painter, Anne-Marie Slaughter, CAP CEO Neera Tanden, Laurence Tribe, and many more.
