"Jason Miller was all set to be the White House communications director for the first Trump administration when news circulated that he'd had an affair with fellow campaign staffer, Arlene "AJ" Delgado. Delgado has a 7-year-old son that she contends belongs to Miller. The pair have spent the better part of a decade now litigating all over the place, from sex discrimination claims in New York federal court to paternity and child support claims floating around Florida."
"Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Spencer Multack drew the short straw and took on the paternity case in 2021, becoming the ninth judge in this litigation which is basically Bleak House except with a very real 7-year-old child. Up until recently, it was Delgado who sought to toss Multack from the case, alleging bias in Miller's favor. But then, after an appellate court opening arose, Miller went on the former Twitter to announce:"
"Judge Multack recused himself four hours later. Delgado's attorney in the New York case informed that judge of the development last week, characterizing Miller's remarks as "very real threats of professional harm." Any normal lawyer representing a client like this would have seen that tweet land and immediately aged twenty years. "You know what would really help your ongoing child support battle? Publicly threatening the judge's career on social media!" said no lawyer ever."
Jason Miller and Arlene "AJ" Delgado engaged in a long-running dispute after an alleged affair and Delgado's contention that her 7-year-old son is Miller's. The parties pursued multiple claims across jurisdictions, including sex-discrimination litigation in New York and paternity and child-support litigation in Florida. The Florida litigation cycled through numerous judges across three judicial districts because of conflicts of interest and bias allegations. Miami-Dade Judge Spencer Multack became the ninth judge in 2021 and recused after Miller publicly commented on an appellate opening. The litigation involves allegations that Miller's public statements constituted threats of professional harm.
