Neither Miller nor his attorney responded when asked what the former aide was doing there.
The grand jury is investigating the role former President Donald Trump played in the Jan. 6 riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Miller served as a senior adviser to the president and director of speechwriting at the time of the riot.
His appearance at the federal court comes after a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit last week denied an emergency motion filed by Trump’s legal team that sought to block the testimony of several of the former president’s White House aides, including Miller.
The appeals court’s denial of Trump’s motion was part of a sealed proceeding, which means court documents are not public. Notice of the denial of the motion was posted on a docket that NBC News previously confirmed is associated with the appeal of an order requiring Meadows and others to testify.
