A married former White House aide says he fathered a child with one of President Trump’s transition advisers during the 2016 campaign.
Jason Miller told The New York Post’s Page Six in a Thursday statement that his wife and family are accepting the birth of his son, William, with former Trump campaign senior adviser A.J. Delgado.
“My wife and I, along with our two daughters, are excited to welcome William into the world and into our family, and we appreciate the well wishes we’ve received from so many,” Miller said of the child, born last month.
Miller was named White House communications director in December, but backed out of the position just two days later, saying that spending time with his family was his “top priority.” Miller’s wife gave birth to a girl in January. He's now a managing director at private consulting firm Teneo.
Delgado announced the July birth of her first child, William, in a Tuesday tweet:
Dear friends: Beyond thrilled to share with you that I'm now the proud mother of a beautiful son (!), William!!! Born 7/10

Delgado dubbed the Post’s story inaccurate, pointing to five “wrong facts” in the piece. She also appeared to take issue with Miller's statement.
Oh wow, just reading the Page Six article. So much wrong in it I don't know to begin... https://t.co/8GTeswEaRB

Love how the Page Six article implies it was a "Vegas" love child. Hm, no. (cont)

(cont.) The father and I were dating for two months (he was separated from his wife, he said, and had been since June.)

And I'm not sure what Jason means that he and his wife are excited to welcome Will. Really? News to me. Let me shut up before I say more...

Delgado indicated Wednesday night that a piece with her side of the story would be forthcoming.
Wasn't my choice to discuss this but since Jason went to Page Six, I guess I now have to share. Story to @mckaycoppins . Stay tuned.
