SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 23 –
A former spokesperson and even
surrogate for Donald J. Trump,
A.J. Delgado, on December 23
sued the Trump campaign and
officials ranging from Sean
Spicer to Reince Priebus for
discrimination she faced she
says after she became pregnant
by then Trump staffer Justin
Miller. Then they reneged on a
settlement.
Hence the suit
filed just before Christmas,
when the U.S. District Court
for Southern District of New
York was nearly empty but for
Inner City Press.
From the
complaint: "In mid-November
2016, Plaintiff DELGADO
learned that she became
pregnant by her supervisor,
Jason Miller.
21. Plaintiff
informed Miller, who told her
that she could not be seen
“waddling around the White
House pregnant.”
22. Around
December 21, 2016, Plaintiff
DELGADO emailed Defendant
BANNON and senior Campaign and
TFA Advisor Kellyanne Conway
to inform them of her
pregnancy. 23. Around
December 22, 2016, Defendant
BANNON accepted the news about
Plaintiff DELGADO’s pregnancy
and told her someone would
call by the end of the day,
but no one did.
24. On December
26, 2016, Plaintiff spoke with
Defendant SPICER on the phone.
Defendant SPICER discouraged
Plaintiff from pursuing White
House employment due to her
status as a pregnant woman and
a first-time mother.
25. Defendant
SPICER told Plaintiff DELGADO
that the White House is “no
place for a new
mom.”
Perhaps not
surprisingly on December 23,
various phone calls were not
returned. We'll have more on
this. The case is Delgado v.
Donald J. Trump for President,
Inc., et al, 19-cv-11764
(SDNY). More on Patreon here.
