The Times called ‘Anonymous’ op-ed author Miles Taylor a Trump ‘senior official.’ Was that accurate?

Last night, lots of people questioned whether this was the right designation. People may have thought he was a cabinet secretary, or, more exciting, maybe even Kellyanne Conway!
He wasn’t. But he was Kirstjen Nielsen’s right hand, and was directly involved in negotiating key administration policies on the border, including forcing people to stay in Mexico while they awaited entry to the US
And maybe most important: a few months after he wrote his oped, the administration put him forward to brief reporters as what? A Senior Administration Official.
