Jason Miller (born 1974 or 1975) is an American communications strategist, political adviser and CEO, best known as the chief spokesman for the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign and transition of Donald Trump. He was a Senior Adviser to the Trump 2020 re-election campaign.[4] From 2010 through 2016, Miller was a partner and executive vice-president at Jamestown Associates.[5][6] He was initially announced as the incoming White House Communications Director during the presidential transition, though he withdrew shortly after amidst news of an extramarital relationship with a staffer who joined the 2016 campaign two months before the election.[7]

In 2017, he became a contributor on CNN,[8] but left the position in 2018 amidst unsubstantiated allegations reported by Gizmodo including spiking an erotic dancer's drink with abortion medication. This claim was denied by both alleged participants under oath in federal court.[9] In unsealed court documents from a defamation case Miller filed against Gizmodo, Miller admitted to hiring prostitutes and having extramarital affairs with two campaign staffers.[10] In March 2021, he became a contributor for Newsmax.[11] Miller left his position as Trump's spokesman in June 2021 to become the CEO of Gettr, a micro-blogging social network with a conservative user base.[12][13][14]

In 2023, Miller left Gettr to join Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.[15][16]
