The Washington Post reported that George E. Bogden, who served as executive director of the Office of Trade Relations at Customs and Border Protection, was dismissed last week. The report suggested that his presence at Miles Taylor&#8217;s 2019 wedding\u2014Taylor being the anonymous author of the Op-Ed\u2014contributed to his removal. Additionally, Bogden attended Taylor&#8217;s second wedding in 2023, and a photo from the first wedding circulated among Trump officials. Taylor&#8217;s Op-Ed claimed there was significant resistance within Trump&#8217;s administration during his first term; he revealed himself as its author in 2020. Following his dismissal, Bogden expressed pride in his work for Trump&#8217;s second term and continued support for Trump&#8217;s policies. At the time of his ouster, he was reportedly involved in discussions with other officials regarding public messaging on tariffs imposed by Trump. Meanwhile, Taylor had his security clearance revoked this month amid implications that it was related to the Op-Ed he wrote.
