The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced recently that Brian D. Miller, former Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery, has been appointed U.S. Attorney for the district.

Miller was appointed by order of United States Attorney General Pamela Bondi. Miller’s interim appointment is for 120 days or until a Presidential appointment is made, whichever occurs first, the U.S. Department of Justice’s website said.

In September, President Donald Trump nominated Miller to be the Middle District of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Attorney, and his nomination is pending the Senate confirmation process. Previously, Miller was confirmed by the Senate to be the Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery in June of 2020.

Miller’s other prior positions “include Senior Associate White House Counsel; Inspector General of the United States General Services Administration (Senate confirmed on July 22, 2005); Senior Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General; Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia; Special Counsel on Health Care Fraud for the Deputy Attorney General; and Counsel to the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia,” the website said. “He has also served as Acting General Counsel of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2025. … As an inspector general, Mr. Miller is known for his investigation of a lavish GSA conference in Las Vegas.”
