<p>Jason Miller, the ex-senior adviser of the former US President Donald Trump spoke to WION on a range of issues, including the Biden administration, the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in the United States.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid the escalating border situation between Russia and Ukraine, Miller also commented on Joe Biden's take on the Ukraine crisis and the stance that the US has taken on the conflict.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Question)</strong>&nbsp;Donald Trump has said he may consider a pardon for the capitol hill rioters if he returns to office does that mean he is most definitely running in 2024 or is it still a maybe?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Answer)</strong>&nbsp;That's with regard to people he believes were treated unfairly and did not commit any truly illegal or violent activity. Of course, if somebody assaulted law enforcement or if they created to damage or did something to assault or hurt another person.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Obviously, they should be fully prosecuted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even though there has not been a formal decision yet, I am pretty confident that Trump does run again in 2024. Many people would say they think there would be a rematch but I don't think Joe Biden runs again in 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p>My prediction is it would be Trump versus California Governor Gavin Newsom in 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Question)</strong>&nbsp;If and when Donald Trump does run for president in 2024, what would be the main focus of his campaign?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Answer)</strong>&nbsp;First would be to try to restore some of the American greatness that he was able to lead us toward in his first term. I would say that Trump is by far the most consequential single-term president in US history.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have advised President Trump that he needs to make sure his relationship with Quad Allies in particular with India needs to be much stronger than it was in his first term. I do think they improved during his first term but they could be stronger especially when we look at this common concern with China.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Question)</strong>&nbsp;We are talking at a time when Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc across the United States. The US in fact has a far higher Covid death rate than other wealthy countries how would you grade the Biden administration's handling of the Covid-19 crisis?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Answer)</strong>&nbsp;Joe Biden ran on a promise to effectively end Covid-19 and we have seen anything but that. We have not seen our stockpiles restored. We are just now starting to get to the point where at-home testing kits are being sent out. No efforts by the US to hold the CCP in China accountable. That's one of the things where I am most frustrated with the Biden administration for not taking stronger action in seeking some aspect of economic&nbsp;reparations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>China and the CCP allowed this virus to spread all over the world and they lied about it and covered it up.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Question)</strong>&nbsp;What do you make of the rhetoric we have seen coming in from Joe Biden on the Ukraine crisis and the stance that the US has taken on the conflict?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Answer)</strong>&nbsp;We are stuck in the middle ground here. Joe Biden does not exhibit the confidence or the strength to ward off Putin's aggression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Much of Putin's strategy is to rally his domestic base. Do I think ultimately Putin will go and try to take over all of Ukraine? No. Do I think he wants to try to slow nato or even EU expansion? Absolutely.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the problem is with Joe Biden exhibiting such weakness on the global stage and having a lack of real international dialogue with Putin, it's allowed Putin to essentially be emboldened.</p>

<p>The major threat, the real concern in the global geopolitical space is I think it's a matter of when and not if china takes over Taiwan.</p>

<p>And I think that's something that's going to be a massive shock for the entire Indo-Pacific theatre. President xi is watching Biden's weakness in dealing with Putin and I think is probably emboldened to make that move against the island nation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>China is an existential threat not just to the US but to democracies around the world.&nbsp;</p>

Ex-Donald Trump adviser Jason Miller weighs in on Biden administration, Covid crisis in US, and more

<p>Jason Miller, the ex-senior adviser of the former US President Donald Trump weighed in on the reports related to a probe into Trump's alleged involvement in last year's Capitol Hill riots on January 6.&nbsp;</p>

<p>National Archives and Records Administration said that some of the documents handed over by Trump to the House Select Committee had been ripped, torn apart and taped back together.</p>

<p>Officials have said that some of the pieces were as small as confetti. However, in a conversation with WION, Miller stated that no "sensitive documents" would have been torn up.</p>

<p>The House Select Committee was created last year to investigate the January 6 violence, when thousands of Trump supporters descended on the US Capitol in Washington DC to stop the process of confirmation of President Joe Biden's victory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the investigation, it has been understood that the panel has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and has received over 50,000 documents.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, recent reports indicated that some of the documents were torn up and taped back together. While responding to this, former senior Trump adviser Jason Miller told WION about his experience when he was in the Oval office.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said when Trump had been through or processed a memo or something that was put in front of him and he no longer wanted to have it around, he would "rip it in half and throw it in the trash can".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It could have been as meaningless as a newspaper article," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Miller said he finds the sight of government workers trying to tape a document back together even it is completely insignificant "humorous".&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "Obviously, that would never happen with sensitive documents. Sensitive type documents or important documents were handed to the proper people to file accordingly."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Just to be very clear, nothing that would have been sensitive, or nothing that would have been of any concern that somebody had seen it, nothing of that type of nature would have been ripped in half," said Miller, adding that "those were handed back to proper government workers."&nbsp;</p>
