Jason Miller, a former Trump campaign strategist and post-White House spokesman for the 45th president, is stepping down from that role to take over as CEO of a tech start-up, a source familiar with his plan told The Post late Thursday.
According to the source, as Miller leaves his full-day role as Trump’s spokesman, he will remain firmly within the former president’s orbit as Trump continues to weigh a bid to return to the White House in 2024.
The date of Miller’s departure and the name of the company he will take over are not immediately known. However, the source indicated that the company will operate a social media platform being considered for use by Trump.
The former president was banned from Twitter and suspended from Facebook following the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Facebook announced last week that the earliest time that Trump’s suspension will be lifted is in January 2023.

Trump once experimented with a blog-style platform called “From Donald J. Trump’s Desk,” which enabled him to create posts that could be shared on Facebook and Twitter by others, but it was shut down this month .
In March, Trump and former first lady Melania Trump launched their official website, 45office.com, to “allow individuals to submit correspondence, schedule requests, and press inquiries.”

It’s unclear who will take Miller’s seat as Trump’s spokesman, but the source said the former president is already interviewing potential candidates.
