Brian D. Miller is an American attorney, currently serving as the Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery. Miller's nomination was announced by President Donald Trump on April 3, 2020. In the role, Miller will oversee the United States Department of the Treasury's implementation of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.[1][2][3]

Early life and education

A native of Virginia, Miller received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Temple University, Juris Doctor from the University of Texas School of Law, and Master of Arts from Westminster Theological Seminary.[4][5]

Career

Since December 2018, Miller has served as Associate White House Counsel and Deputy Assistant to the President.[6] Prior to serving as Special Inspector General, Miller served as Inspector General for the General Services Administration.[7] He also worked as an advisor to the United States Deputy Attorney General during the George W. Bush Administration and assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

As a part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, a provision was included that the Special Inspector General would report directly to Congress. Trump later stated that he would ignore the provision, and that any information shared with Congress would be vetted by him. The decision was condemned by lawmakers, including Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Richard Blumenthal, and others.[8][9][10][11] Montana Senator Jon Tester and Utah Senator Mitt Romney also drafted a letter to the president in support of an independent Special Inspector General.[12]
