Jason Miller has been dogged by allegations that he preyed on former fellow 2016 Trump campaign employee A.J. Delgado—and left her alone with their kid. Now she says he raped her.

Jason Miller, one of Donald Trump’s longest-serving and closest political aides, is one again in the broiler.

The long and salacious saga of his extramarital affair with former Trump political aide A.J. Delgado took a sudden dark turn on Wednesday, when she sued her ex-boss in an explosive lawsuit that now describes his predatory relationship as rape.

The Cuban-American lawyer has spent years publicly attacking Miller for using his position of power during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign to prey on her—then turning into a deadbeat dad who’s even been publicly skewered by CNN’s Jake Tapper for refusing to pay child support.

But on Wednesday, Delgado turned up the heat with a lawsuit against the Trump 2024 campaign, Miller, and the prominent Republican consulting firm where he worked during the ordeal, Jamestown Associates. Court documents describe “a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking.”

    None of these peons should be making the national news regardless of their affiliation with some past administration. Not unless and until some larger pattern of behavior or cover-up by leaders is discovered. Otherwise it’s nothing more than petty smear by affiliation. No disrespect to the victims, but they also shouldn’t be exploited for political points, either.

      Yeah youre right. it should never make the news that a presidential candidate fills his immediate inner circle with rapists (above and more), fraudsters (Bannon and more), liars (Flynn and more), and violent thugs(Lewandowski and more).

      That is totally not politically relevant at all, to have a wide swath of criminals consulting for you while running for public office and while president of the united states. Especially when this person is still very specifically working with Trump, even going with him to one of his recent trials.

      It also totally wasent relevant that Trump pardoned more people that he was personally involved with than any president in history. Totally, totally not newsworthy.
