SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 16 – Arlene "A.J."
Delgado sued the Trump
campaign after she did not
receive the West Wing job she
said she was promised (but
Jason Miller got).
On August 16, 2022 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker held an in-person
proceeding. Inner City Press
went and covered
it.
Neither Delgado
nor of course Trump were
there. There were just the two
lawyers. The Trump lawyer made
a point of saying that
order(s) of protection were
taken out against Delgado in
Florida in 2010 and 2011.
Even if it were
true, Judge Parker asked, how
is it relevant? Would that
have barred Delgado from a job
in the West Wing?
No, Trump's
lawyer conceded. It seemed the
goal may have mostly been to smear,
not uncommon in such
litigation.
Talk
turned to Tweets, specifically
six Delgado tweets that both
sides said had previously been
arbitrated.
After Judge
Parker set a schedule (fact
discovery runs into 2023, in
this lawsuit filed in 2019), a
quick review of Delgado's
current tweets start with a
pinned tweet about Jason
Miller hiring prostituted (in
fairness, pinned in 2019) and
one
from an hour before the
proceeding, that Trump
"overestimates his support.
Aside from that crackpot who
attacked the FBI office w a
nailgun, no one is doing
anything more for him than
tweeting and Reddit posts."
Inner City
Press will continue to follow
the case, whether or not
anyone else does.
It is Delgado v.
Donald J. Trump For President,
Inc. et al., 19-cv-11764
