WASHINGTON Donald Trumps reelection campaign is hiding what it pays a top adviser who claims he speaks to the president daily and who is embroiled in a long-running dispute with a former lover over how much child support he can afford to pay.
Jason Miller, who joined the reelection team in late spring after having worked on Trumps 2016 bid and who served as an informal adviser to him since 2017, has not once appeared in the 2020 campaigns filings on its expenses with the Federal Election Commission. Also absent from the filings is Millers firm, SHW Partners LLC, for which he describes himself as a principal.
If Miller can be shown to have a higher income than he has detailed, a court could force him to pay more child support.
According to Florida court filings in the support dispute, Miller reported an income of $683,660 in 2019 ― but continued to argue that he could not afford to pay $3,167 per month in child support for the son he fathered during the 2016 Trump campaign with a female colleague. For a period of six months early this year, he paid only $500 a month in child support ― despite reporting monthly personal expenses that included $1,500 for food and home supplies, $750 for meals out, $473 for maid service and $1,517 in car payments.
