CBS News correspondent John Miller, who covers the national security/ terrorism beat, is returning to the New York Police Dept. with the return of Bill Bratton as commissioner.
He worked as chief spokesperson for Bratton during his first round as the Big Apple’s top cop and then headed Los Angeles’ counterterrorism bureau when Bratton was police commissioner there.
At the NYPD, Miller, 55, will work in its counterterrorism unit.
Miller has been at CBS since 2011, joining it from the federal Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Miller recently took some heat for a “softball” report on the National Security Agency for “60 Minutes.”
He announced his decision to rejoin Bratton during a Dec. 26 send-off segment on CBS.
Miller is leaving because “when you get the chance to serve the largest city in the world, potentially the great terrorist threat in maybe the greatest police department in the world, it’s hard to say no.”
He’s also noted for a 1998 interview with Osama bin Laden for ABC News.
