Ex-Trump Aide Jason Miller Hires Hulk Hogan’s Lawyers to Sue Gizmodo Over Abortion Pill Story

In the latest twist in his battle with ex-lover A.J. Delgado, Miller has hired the same lawyers who helped Hulk Hogan take down Gawker.

Former Trump aide Jason Miller sued Gizmodo Media Group for $100 million on Monday, claiming one of its news sites colluded with his ex-lover to plant a false story that he slipped an abortion pill into the smoothie of a pregnant stripper.

And Miller—who was a senior aide to Trump during the campaign and presidential transition—is doing it with the help of attorneys who helped wrestler Hulk Hogan sue Gizmodo precursor Gawker for publishing a sex tape. ... Hogan’s successful legal battle and $141 million verdict destroyed Gawker, parts of which were then spun off into Gizmodo Media Group.

A source with direct knowledge told The Daily Beast on Monday evening that Miller is represented in his suit against Gizmodo by Ken Turkel and Shane Vogt, who are veterans of the team, led by Charles Harder, that represented Hogan when he sued Gawker for publishing a Hogan sex tape.
....

Harder is now an attorney for Miller’s old boss, President Trump. The suit against Gawker was underwritten by the billionaire Peter Thiel, another top Trump associate. ... The lawsuit was filed in federal court Miami on Monday and was first reported on by the Daily Mail. The Daily Beast has obtained the court documents (which can be viewed at the bottom of this article). ... The SplinterNews.com story, written by reporter Katherine Krueger, was based on a court filing in a bitter custody battle between Miller and ex-lover A.J. Delgado, who had an extramarital affair during the 2016 campaign.
