WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump is once again at the center of a storm, as new allegations surface regarding secret settlements and gender discrimination during his campaigns, as reported by Mediaite.

AJ Delgado, a former staffer on Trump’s 2016 campaign, has come forward with text messages that allege Trump's 2020 campaign settled multiple gender discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits.

The texts, reportedly exchanged between Delgado and former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, were revealed in new filings made by Delgado as part of her ongoing discrimination lawsuit.

The texts feature Delgado asking Ellis if she knew of any complaints or settlements regarding gender or pregnancy discrimination, or sexual harassment in the 2020 campaign.

"Jenna, [between] us, do you know of anyone who complained of gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, or sexual harassment, in the 2020 campaign? Do you know if the 2020 campaign settled any lawsuits regarding such?" Delgado allegedly inquires.

Ellis’s alleged response was, "Yes. Off record—Boris. The campaign settled multiple suits." The texts also advise, "Have your investigator subpoena Michael Glassner," seemingly referring to the Trump 2020 campaign strategist.

While the "Boris" mentioned isn’t explicitly identified, it could be Boris Epshteyn, a strategic adviser for Trump’s 2020 campaign. Forbes’s Zach Everson noted that Epshteyn was arrested in 2021 following multiple complaints of groping women at a club.

These text exchanges follow earlier declarations by Delgado, who asserted that Trump’s 2016 campaign used intermediaries to send hush money to obscure discrimination settlements from the public and the Federal Election Commission.

Delgado’s sworn court declaration stated, "In other words, the payment would be routed through a middleman, to hide the fact that the Campaign had settled, from the public and the FEC." She claimed she had direct experience with the campaign hiding settlement payments to women, making them appear as payments "for legal services."

Supporting Delgado's allegations, The Daily Beast reported that immediately after the November 2020 election, the Trump campaign paid $4.1 million for legal services and "millions in mysterious legal reimbursements to the campaign’s compliance firm, Red Curve Solutions."

Donald Trump trolled online in the wake of fresh hush money allegations

As the news of these fresh hush money allegations broke, the internet was quick to troll Trump. One user said, "Every cell in Trump's body is riddled with crime. He pathologically believes that laws don't pertain to him. It's a mental illness."

Another remarked, "It amazes me that knowing that Trump is probably the worst human being in the nation and lies like a rug and has all these crimes he has committed that people are still dumb enough to support that con artist."

A third user wrote, "Biden is 100% right about one thing, even amidst his cognitive issues, Trump is a one-man crime wave." Another user mentioned, "The Trump Bible says Trump is going to hell." One user posted, "This will not end well for Trump. But then, his supporters are the dumbest of the nation."

Another user commented, "Just another day in the shady world of Donald J Trump." A seventh user stated, "Funny how 'conservative' legislation is bringing Trump down. And the FBI. But the only person to blame is himself. Nobody forced him to break all those laws." Lastly, a user said, "Trump is an extreme liability to America."
