A New York judge is allowing a civil rape case to proceed against a longtime campaign advisor to President Donald Trump, according to a report.
Former MAGA attorney A.J. Delgado filed a lawsuit claiming Jason Miller engaged in a "cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking" while they were having an affair in 2016. She was his direct subordinate at the time.
Delgado said Miller had non-consensual sex with Delgado while she was inebriated and unable to consent. She's also said Miller repeatedly suggested she terminate her pregnancy, and later took him to court over child support payments.
Delgado filed the lawsuit in New York in 2023. On Friday, New York Supreme Court Justice Lyle Frank greenlit Delgado’s rape claims, Courthouse News reported.

Miller has denied the allegations.
"History has shown a pattern of conduct by Delgado simply intended to harass my family while wasting the judiciary's time and resources," Miller told Newsweek in 2023.
The defendants sought to have the lawsuit tossed this week, according to the report.
“There was no factual detail whatsoever,” Michael Madaio, an attorney for Trump’s presidential campaign, told the court. “She didn't mention a date and offered little to no details about the alleged assaults.”
However, the judge ruled Delgado "adequately alleged sexual assault incidents in New York."
Miller told Courthouse News on Friday that Delgado's accusations are “completely false” and “disproven” by her own statements.
