A new report claims that the Pentagon has revoked the security clearance of former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer Susan Miller, who previously claimed to have helped create the 2016 U.S. Intelligence Community Assessment that was used to accuse President Donald Trump of colluding with Russia during the presidential election.
The Federalist reported on Thursday that two Trump administration officials confirmed to the outlet that Miller’s security clearance had been revoked.
An anonymous senior defense official told The Federalist, “This woman totally shouldn’t hold a high level security clearance after pushing the Russia Hoax. All she did was lie to the American people to hurt Trump.”
Additionally, a senior Trump official said, “Russian Hoaxers sought to undermine President Trump’s entire first term in office. A woman involved in the Russia Hoax cannot be trusted with a security clearance. Therefore, it has been revoked.”
During a recent podcast episode, Miller said she “headed up the report team” that completed the 2016 U.S. Intelligence Community Assessment that was used to target Trump. However, sources told Racket News in July that Miller did not play a major role in the assessment.

A senior intelligence official told Racket News that Miller was “not an author” and was “not involved.” Meanwhile, a source with knowledge of the assessment told the outlet, “[S]he’s not the author of the ICA … she wasn’t leading this effort. So it’s just totally bizarre that she claims the opposite.”
Following Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s release of new evidence in July that showed former President Barack Obama’s national security cabinet members “manufactured and politicized intelligence” that led to a “coup” against Trump and that the manufactured intelligence alleging collusion between Trump and Russia was not credible, Miller claimed that Gabbard was lying.
“The director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again,” Miller told NBC News. “We definitely had the intel to show with high probability that the specific goal of the Russians was to get Trump elected.”
Miller added, “At the same time, we found no two-way collusion between Trump or his team with the Russians at that time.”
