MAGA loyalists were stunned after President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were tied to a third abuse scandal, a legal expert said Tuesday.
In an episode of the Legal AF podcast, Popok detailed how Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) has faced calls to resign over allegations that he abused his ex-wife and their daughter — and noted that this wasn’t the first time Miller has been accused of abuse.
Popok recalls Stephanie Grisham, former White House communications director during the first Trump administration, who wrote a book and included a chapter about Miller.
“She didn’t name him by name, but it was obvious who she was talking about,” Popok said. “And later he self-identified, he outed himself and said, ‘yeah, I’m the boyfriend in the chapter that she wrote about where she said she was physically abused when they lived together.’”
In the book, Grisham described how Miller allegedly did “terrible physically abusive things to her when Stephanie was leaving the relationship on the day that she was leaving it,” Popok explained. “Now, that ended up also confirmed in a Washington Post op-ed piece. This is back in 2023 and 2024. Now, when apparently Stephanie Grisham was friendly with Melania Trump, remember her? Used to be our first lady, barely seen these days. And Melania Trump, according to Grisham in her book, said, you need to go to the police. Where is Melania Trump these days?”
“Besides pointing an angry finger about her connections to the Epstein scandal and saying she doesn’t have any and requiring that victims take the oath and testify to Congress before justice is done for Epstein victims, she is strangely silent once again about Max Miller,” Popok said.
“If Grisham is telling the truth, and who are you going to believe, Melania Trump or Grisham at this point? And Melania encouraged her to go to the police, then where is she now? It’s a deafening silence. It’s a roar.”
But the reason Grisham gave for not going to the police and reporting Miller, which might have changed the fate of Emily Moreno later marrying Miller, was shocking, Popok explained.
“She, according to Grisham’s own autobiography, she told Melania Trump, the reason she wasn’t going to the police, get this, it was all political, that she didn’t think that the Trump administration needed an abuse scandal while they were campaigning for election,” he added.
