The committee subpoenaed Miller and several other top Trump aides last month, claiming that they set up a"war room" as a command center in Washington to brainstorm efforts to halt the counting of electoral votes days before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol. Miller was a senior adviser on former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign. Before that, he was as a top aide in the Trump administration.
