Trump aide concealed work for PR firm and misled court to dodge child support

Jason Miller signed secret deal to stay with DC-based Teneo after resigning' and then appeared to misrepresent employment status

A top aide to Donald Trump was secretly re-engaged by a leading political strategy firm after being forced to step down following a social media scandal, the Guardian can reveal. The company, Washington-based Teneo, wanted access to top Republicans in the then president's inner circle, and to conceal his ongoing work.

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.
