Jason Miller, former senior adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, is stepping down as political commentator for CNN after reports of a woman claiming to have given her an abortion pill without her consent.

The woman's charge was part of a new court case related to a battle between Miller and her ex-lover A.J. Delgado, who also worked on the Trump campaign, according to a report released Friday by Splinter News.

Miller, who denied the prosecution, announced his departure from CNN in a statement that he shared on Twitter.

"I decided to withdraw from my role … to focus on my name and fight against the false accusations against me," he said.

"To be clear, none of this is true," Miller said, referring to the charge of forced abortion.

Miller and Delgado first started a relationship while they both worked for the Trump campaign and Miller was married. After the November 2016 presidential election, Delgado told Miller that she was pregnant, according to a profile released by Atlantic last year.

In the court documents obtained by Splinter, Delgado claims that Miller had another previous extramarital affair with a woman encountered in a strip club.

Delgado said the woman, identified as "Jane Doe" in the court document, became pregnant during this case.

The document alleges that Miller gave the woman a smoothie containing an abortion pill and that the woman began bleeding profusely. She was found in an emergency room and "the unborn child died," read the court document.

Splinter confirmed with Delgado that the court document was in fact related to his custody battle.

A few hours before announcing his departure from CNN, Miller shared a series of tweets defending himself against Splinter's report and Delgado's claims about the alleged abortion.

Miller said Splinter "did nothing to corroborate the accuracy of Ms. Delgado's defamatory charges, which have already been refuted by at least one journalist."

"I will clarify my name in court and seek to detain Ms. Delgado, Splinter and anyone else involved in spreading these lies lawfully," he wrote.
