BUSTED: Trump adviser 'appears to have misled a Florida court' to get out of paying child support

Source: raw story


March 25, 2021


Former Trump 2020 campaign adviser Jason Miller has persistently claimed that he lacks the money to make his court-mandated child support payments -- but new documents unearthed by The Guardian tell a different story and show he "appears to have misled" courts about his financial situation.


According to the newspaper, Miller last year was "secretly re-engaged" by Washington-based political strategy firm Teneo, which paid him $500,000 to work as a consultant via a "hastily formed LLC."

Teneo had publicly fired Miller in 2019 after he went on an obscene social media tirade against Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), but the firm wanted to covertly keep him on the payroll because he provided access to former president Donald Trump's White House.

..................
"The Florida court records show that Miller made other misleading or false statements under oath in the case of his faux firing in multiple instances," reports The Guardian. "He not only falsely portrayed himself as unemployed, but asserted under oath that he could no longer afford to travel to Florida to attend court hearings related to the case, and asked a trial in the matter be postponed until he could find work. As evidence of his supposed 'major financial setback' Miller cited newspaper articles reporting his resignation from the firm."

Jason looks like he eats well--and looks like he has put on extra pounds.

Intentionally failing to pay AND misleading a court is egregious and amounts to child neglect, perjury and probably a whole host of other violations. Seize his assets, liquid and otherwise, and send this bubblehead directly to jail!

These people have fantastic money to blow. $500k is years of comfortable living for 80% of America.

from the Guardian-https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/25/jason-miller-trump-aide-teneo-secret-deal-pr-firm.( this is the article that raw story cites)

snip-Jason Miller – who remains close to Trump, and who today serves as a senior adviser to the former president – also later appears to have misled a Florida court about this employment status, asserting in a sworn statement that he could no longer comply with a court order requiring him to pay child-support payments because of an alleged “major financial setback” and was effectively out of work.

Miller cited his termination as a reason he could not meet court-mandated payments – even though he had secretly agreed to a new contract with Teneo that meant doing the same work for the same fee"

That beard is comical. Looks like it’s a strategic “fool the eye” trim, designed to delineate a chin line and/or a jaw line that’s been severely blurred by longtime overeating.

you can imagine how I feel about these self-important, somehow aggrieved, lazy slobs who cheat their offspring. Burns me up every time I read about such things.
If this guy was poor he would be in jail by now. WTF judge??

Furthermore, he created his LLC purposely to EVADE paying child support. That's not just lying, it's FRAUD.
