Jason Miller, who President-elect Donald Trump announced this week would serve as his White House communications director, said on Saturday he would not take the job.

Miller, the communications director for Trump's transition team, said in a statement that his family needed to take priority over career moves. He said he and his wife were expecting their second daughter in January. Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

"This is not the right time to start a new job as demanding as White House communications director," Miller said.

The links don't mention another woman, but who cares other than the fact that Jason Miller is a sanctimonious unctuous liar.

Her cryptic twitter accusations and his oddly-time resignation, just two days after being tagged for this high profile position.

One spouse, two buns apparently in the oven.

Family values conservative hypocrisy, laid bare.

as If he didn't realize or know 48 hours earlier that he had a family and a baby on the way in less than a month. People don't resign 48 hours later to "spend time with their family".
