an 7 24

on Thursday, in the midst of the July 4th holiday, a former Donald Trump staffer who worked on his 2016 campaign went public with a series of texts she allegedly made with Trump attorney Jenna Ellis asking about secret lawsuit settlements for accusations of "sexual harassment and gender discrimination" within the campaign.

In replies to those texts from attorney A.J. Delgado, who posted them on-line, Ellis appears to reply, "Yes off record — Boris The campaign settled multiple lawsuits. Have your investigator contact [campaign staffer] Michael Glassner. I will of course tell you the truth."

As the Daily Beast's Josh Fiallo wrote, the "bombshell" texts were included in a filing by Delgado as part of a lawsuit she filed against Trump campaign adviser and he supervisor, Jason Miller, whom she has accused of raping her while they were having an affair.

The video player is currently playing an ad.

According to the report, "As part of that lawsuit, Delgado, a lawyer who’s representing herself, filed a motion Thursday that included a text thread she claims to be between her and Jenna Ellis, another ex-Trump staffer who is a co-defendant in his election subversion case in Georgia."

Ellis pleaded guilty in the Georgia case.

The report adds that the Boris in question appears to be Boris Epshteyn, who has been at Trump's side during his courtroom appearances.

The report states, "The Daily Beast has not independently verified the authenticity of the texts, and neither Ellis, Delgado or a Trump representative responded to questions messaged and emailed on Thursday night. It’s the second time the texts were submitted as evidence by Delgado, after the Trump campaign’s lawyers asked her to re-submit them without names redacted and an offer to mark them as “confidential” appeared to be ignored."

Fiallo added, "The texts did not specify what sort of lawsuits “Boris” may have faced, but Epshteyn was accused of repeatedly groping two sisters at an Arizona bar in 2021 until a bouncer and cops intervened to remove him. "

roger salon

Florida judge rumored to be on short list of nominees to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death is currently hearing a $100 million lawsuit from one of President Donald Trump's top campaign strategists.

Judge Barbara Lagoa was appointed to Florida's 11th Circuit Court of Appeals less than one year ago by Trump. She is one of two Trump appointees on a three-judge panel which will decide whether the effort by the president's senior campaign strategist Jason Miller to revive a $100 million defamation suit against Gizmodo may advance.

Miller has sued the media conglomerate over a 2018 article in its now-defunct subsidiary website Splinter reporting that he drugged a woman with an abortion pill without her knowledge after learning she was pregnant.

Splinter reported that the allegation came in a court filing from A.J. Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide. Delgado has been engaged in a bitter custody dispute since 2017 with Miller, a married man who fathered her child while they worked on the campaign. Delgado claimed in a court filing that the alleged smoothie incident involved another woman, whose identity she did not publicly reveal.

Miller filed a $100 million defamation suit against Gizmodo Media and Katherine Krueger, the reporter for Splinter. He denies the allegations.

A Miami-based federal district court judge tossed out the case a year ago, ruling that the report was a fair and accurate summary of a judicial proceeding — and therefore shielded from libel charges. Miller appealed that ruling, and the court heard opening arguments last month.

The appeal hangs on Miller's argument that the "fair report privilege" should not apply, because the filing cited by Splinter was been under seal at the time of publication. However, Gizmodo claims that the document was available for at least a three-day window before Miller's lawyers filed to seal it. Because the court did not automatically seal the document, Gizmodo says it had a fair claim for publication under New York law.

The two Trump-appointed judges on the panel — Lagoa and Andrew Brasher — "seemed friendlier to Miller's case," according to a Politico report on the initial hearing last month.

For a Supreme Court nominee, Lagoa's judicial experience would be thin by historical standards. Lagoa has about nine months of experience on the federal bench, and she previously served for less than one year on Florida's Supreme Court.

In addition to the Miller case, Lagoa is also currently ruling on a challenge to a Florida law requiring anyone with a serious criminal conviction to pay all fines and legal obligations before they can vote. Florida is a key swing state in the 2020 elections.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee recently wrote to Lagoa and Brasher, along with Trump appointee Robert Luck, asking them to recuse themselves from the case. The senators cited judicial ethics rules barring judges from ruling on cases if their impartiality can be "reasonably" questioned. Though Brasher recused himself, Lagoa and Luck have not.

Lagoa's potential conflicts of interest in that case may go beyond her connection to Trump. During her short stint on Florida's Supreme Court, the judge ruled to reverse a decision invalidating the felon voting law. She argues that the federal case is different from the state-level case, which some see as a gray area when it comes to recusal.

The Trump campaign views Florida as a must-win on its path to electoral victory Nov. 3.

Lagoa, a Cuban-American from Florida, was also featured on Trump's Sept. 10 list of potential nominees.

Financial affidavits from Miller's child support case, reviewed and first reported by Salon, showed the Trump adviser has consistently argued for years that he is broke despite simultaneously reporting incomes anywhere between $20,000 and $67,000 a month. His August affidavit showed a $35,000 monthly income starting in June, when he joined the Trump campaign. However, the campaign has not disclosed any payments to Miller or other top staff members.

Delgado has publicly claimed that Miller may be financially "desperate" to overturn the initial ruling on his $100 million lawsuit.

"It's Lagoa who decides it," she tweeted. "So she was placed on this list and now has to rule in Miller's favor."

Federal judge Amy Coney Barrett has been reported to be the front-runner to replace Ginsburg. Trump said Monday that he intends to announce a decision by "either Friday or Saturday."

A.J. Delgado, an attorney from Miami, joined Donald Trump’s campaign as a senior adviserlast week after the Labor Day holiday.

During the presidential campaign, Delgado, aCuban-American, has emerged as a prominent Trump supporter, appearing on both English- and Spanish-language news broadcasts. A spokesperson for the Trump campaign told Yahoo News that Delgado’s role in the campaign will focus mainly on communications. She will spend several days a week at the Trump campaign headquarters in New York City.

“I am so pleased to join the Trump-Pence campaign as a senior adviser. As a longtime supporter of his candidacy, it is a great honor to stand behind Mr. Trump, and I look forward to continuing to spread his positive message and advocate for his policies placing Americans first,” Delgado said.

In a conversation with Yahoo News, the Trump campaign’s senior communications adviser, Jason Miller, described Delgado as a “triple threat” because of her ability to connect with a wide variety of voters.

“The thing that I love about A.J. is the range of audiences she can go and speak to. So, as we talk about conservative street cred, she’s absolutely top of the charts, well known in the conservative movement,” Miller explained. He added that Delgado could speak to “Florida people, being that she’s a Floridian … and then also, I think, being able to talk to Cuban-Americans and Hispanics across the country.”

Miller said Delgado also stood out because she was one of Trump’s grassroots supporters prior to joining the team. Delgado discussed her support for Trump at length in an interview with Yahoo News in March before the Manhattan developer had locked up the nomination.

According to Miller, Delgado will serve as a national surrogate, help with “expanding our outreach with the Latino community nationally,” and work on the campaign’s communications in South Florida, a crucial swing state that contains many Cuban-American voters. Polls show Trump is far behind among Hispanic voters, and his campaign has lagged behind Democrat Hillary Clinton in its minority outreach efforts.

Hosts on both the left-leaning MSNBC and conservative Fox News told Yahoo News that Delgado has emerged as one of Trump’s top television surrogates.

“I think A.J. has been, by far, the most cogent, formidable surrogate for Trump of anyone who’s been doing TV appearances,” MSNBC’s Chris Hayes said.

“She has incredible communication skills. She is not only a Harvard grad who is brilliant, but she has incredible insight and knowledge on every important issue of the day,” Fox News’ Sean Hannitysaid, adding, “On top of that, one of the nicest people on television and a huge asset to the Trump campaign and any show she is on. A.J. just crushed it on TV — a total natural talent.”

Ted Cruz

Jason Miller was chosen as Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign senior communications advisor shortly after Cruz announced his candidacy on March 23, 2015.^[13] National Review described him as part of Cruz's "brain trust," alongside campaign manager Jeff Roe and strategist Jason Johnson.^[14]

Throughout the campaign, Miller worked as a national spokesperson. At the time of his hire, Miller told Politico that he was brought in "to put together a more robust communications operation."^[15]Miller's early communications were mostly positive reports on the campaign's ability to raise money from large donors. He told Politico, "The excitement created by Sen. Cruz’s announcement has motivated conservative grass-roots donors and big donors alike. We’re energized by the early rush of donor activity and are very confident we can achieve our goals."^[16]

In the days before the Iowa caucuses, as Donald Trump's campaign began attacking Cruz, Miller's communications team shifted away from counter-attacks to a more positive note. Miller told The Wall Street Journal, "He is making his closing argument, why he should be the next president of the United States. Every campaign, by definition, has different phases."^[17]

Cruz suspended his presidential campaign on May 3, 2016, after losing the Indiana Republican primary to Donald Trump.^[18]

Donald Trump

On June 27, 2016, Donald Trump's presidential campaign announced that Jason Miller would join as a senior communications advisor. Bloomberg reported that Miller would "take the lead role over the Trump campaign’s message and interactions with the news media," duties that were formerly performed solely by Hope Hicks.^[19]

In December 2016, Trump offered Miller the position of White House communications director. Miller initially accepted but turned the job down two days later, citing his desire to spend more time with family.^[2]

Trump Communications Director Leaves to 'Spend Time with Family' After Staffer Hints at Sex Scandal

Expect a lot more stories like these in the years ahead.

By Tom Boggioni / Raw Story

December 26, 2016 a surprising Christmas Eve announcement, newly appointed White House communications director Jason Miller has stepped down from his position after a Trump transition member hinted on Twitter that a sex scandal may be brewing.

According to the New York Daily News, Miller announced that he is walking away only two days after being appointed, saying his wife is expecting their second child and, “It’s clear they need to be my top priority right now, and this is not the time to start a new job as demanding as White House communications director.”

In a series of tweets, now hidden from view, Trump advocate and transition staffer A.J. Delgado cast a shadow over Miller’s announcement, writing, “Congratulations to the baby-daddy on being named WH Comms Director!” before adding, “The 2016 version of John Edwards.” The Edwards mention no doubt referring to the ex-Democratic presidential nominee whose career was derailed by an affair and a child out of wedlock.

In a series of tweets captured by Mediaite, Delgado leveled more accusations at Miller, writing, “When people need to resign graciously and refuse to, it’s a bit… spooky,” hinting that Miller’s troubles may have begun earlier. Delgado added, “Jason Miller. Who needed to resign… yesterday.”

Delgado has since taken her Twitter account off-line.

This is not the first time Delgado, a Trump advocate and cable TV regular, has removed her Twitter account from view. Previously, she dropped it after insisting that Charleston shooter Dylann Roof didn’t appear to be white — leading to much Twitter ridicule
