CNN political commentator Jason Miller has decided to step away from his role at the network in light of a recent report showing a legal filing that accuses Miller of secretly giving an abortion pill to a woman he was sleeping with without her knowledge. (TVNewser)
Miller said he is leaving his position so he can focus on “clearing [his] name and fighting the false and defamatory accusations being made against [him].” (THR)
Splinter reported on Saturday that Miller was accused of drugging a woman with a smoothie to induce an abortion. The account was found in court documents related to a custody battle between Miller and former Trump campaign operative A.J. Delgado. (Mediaite)
Miller, a former senior communications staffer for President Trump’s campaign, joined CNN in the spring of 2017 as a paid contributor. He had often appeared as a surrogate on TV-news networks representing Trump during the campaign leading up to the 2018 presidential election. (Variety)
