Career

Miller was formally nominated as SIGPR by the Trump administration on 6 April 2020, a move that the Trump administration had signaled several days earlier, which had prompted Montana Senator Jon Tester and Utah Senator Mitt Romney to draft a letter to the president requesting a different, independent Special Inspector General. The U.S. Senate Banking Committee held his confirmation hearing on May 5 and voted on May 12 to advance his nomination to the full Senate. The Senate confirmed him on June 2.
