The White House removed a top trade official after learning that he had attended the wedding of Miles Taylor, author of a 2018 opinion piece critical of President Donald Trump.
George Bogen, who had served as executive director of the Office of Trade Relations at Customs and Border Protection (CBP), was asked to step down earlier this week over his alleged connection to Taylor, The Washington Postreported Friday.
Trump officials had been passing around a Facebook photo of Bogen at Taylor’s 2019 wedding in Jamaica. Bodgen was also present at Taylor’s second wedding in 2023, an attendee told the Post.
