According to the [link:http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-loses-jason-miller-white-house-communications-director-article-1.2922711New York Daily News], Miller announced that he is walking away only two days after being appointed, saying his wife is expecting their second child and, Its clear they need to be my top priority right now, and this is not the time to start a new job as demanding as White House communications director.

In a series of tweets, now hidden from view, Trump advocate and transition staffer A.J. Delgado cast a shadow over Millers announcement, writing, Congratulations to the baby-daddy on being named WH Comms Director! before adding, The 2016 version of John Edwards. The Edwards mention no doubt referring to the ex-Democratic presidential nominee whose career was derailed by an affair and a child out of wedlock.

In a series of tweets captured by [link:http://www.mediaite.com/online/trump-advisor-a-j-delgado-deletes-twitter-account-after-cryptic-tweets-about-jason-miller/Mediaite], Delgado leveled more accusations at Miller, writing, When people need to resign graciously and refuse to, its a bit spooky, hinting that Millers troubles may have begun earlier. Delgado added, Jason Miller. Who needed to resign yesterday.
