Deposition threat looms over Susie Wiles as White House eyes new hire

A new White House hire of a controversial former Donald Trump adviser could land Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in court.On Monday, a report claimed the White House is in talks to bring Jason Miller, long associated with the president since his first term, back to help with communications issues before the midterm elections. That potential hiring did not go unnoticed by Miller’s former girlfriend A. J. Delgado who has been waging a war with him for years over child support.Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide, immediately questioned the hiring decision, with a flood of posts on X, including notifying Wiles she can expect to hear from the court that is hearing her lawsuit aimed at Miller.In previous public statements, Delgado has alleged that Miller engaged in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking." The accusations carry substantial weight given her proximity to Trump's inner circle and her detailed familiarity with Miller's behavior.Beyond the assault allegations, Delgado has characterized Miller as deliberately evading child support obligations—a pattern that extends back years and now faces fresh scrutiny as Miller assumes a prominent White House role. Following the new hiring announcement, she wrote on X, "30 days out from a child support trial, Jason Miller suddenly joins the White House (salary of $195,000), when he earned $14 million in the past 12 months. Nothing to see here. Just a 98% reduction in income. Wink-wink. The timing is a total coincidence, am sure."She added, "Hi @SusieWiles47 , I'm moving the court to allow me to take your deposition. Am curious when/why this decision to hire (disgraced) Miller was made, reducing Miller's income by 98%... quite conveniently, a mere 30 days out from my son's long-awaited child support trial..."

Ex-Bush official says Trump is handing Democrats a loaded weapon — and MAGA will regret it

A former Republican State Department official is warning that President Donald Trump's reliance on executive decrees and rule-breaking will eventually be turned against his own supporters — and that the satisfaction MAGA feels now is, at best, "a sugar high."The warning came from Kim R. Holmes, a former Assistant Secretary of State and historian, in a post amplified by conservative attorney Gregg Nunziata. Holmes argued that the norms Trump is shattering will not stay broken in his favor."Every single rule broken, law violated, and norm transgressed by exclusive presidential decree or action will now be thrown back at us from the other direction," Holmes wrote.He faulted Trump for governing through reversible directives rather than durable legislation, writing that even when the president "addresses a legitimate problem, he does so not by arranging the passage of permanent laws...but by lazily using presidential directives and 'memos' that can be reversed the minute another president enters the White House."Holmes cautioned that Trump's base may be operating under a dangerous illusion."His supporters may delude themselves into thinking that he or someone like him will rule forever," Holmes wrote, suggesting Trump "may be counting on this sentiment to stay in power, as a pathway to a new kind of authoritarian rule."But power, Holmes noted, is temporary. "He will not stay in power forever," he wrote, predicting that supporters "will then discover the cost of such complicity, when in all this edgy rule breaking is turned against them."He anticipated the standard rebuttal — that progressives were already weaponizing the rules — and dismissed it as shortsighted."It may feel good now, but it is at best a sugar high," Holmes wrote. "Before you could at least legitimately complain that the rules were being broken. No more."The post built on a thread that drew in prominent conservative voices. Holmes was responding to commentator Erick Erickson, who had simply replied "Yes" to a warning from the user Chris, who posts as @chriswithans."Do you hear that, MAGA Republicans?" Chris wrote. "What's going to stop the next Democrat president from firing half the civil service when they take power again? Imagine 300,000 federal government employees permanently 'laid off.' For good. Are you happy now. Is this what you wanted."That post, in turn, responded to former U.S. attorney and legal analyst Barb McQuade, who warned about the implications of the Slaughter case for the federal workforce."The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can 'clean house' every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service," McQuade wrote.The chain of reaction — spanning conservative insiders, legal experts, and Trump critics alike — underscored a growing argument that the expansion of unchecked executive power sets a precedent neither party may be able to contain once the White House changes hands.
