"West said she did not coordinate or communicate in any way with Trump's political operation and the campaign of Massie's primary opponent, Ed Gallrein. West said Massie's offer involved cash that he had previously given her during their relationship and that she later returned to him."
"Zoom in: West told Axios she broke her silence because she resented Massie for speaking about the need for transparency when it came to releasing the Epstein files - even as, she alleges, he attempted to silence her with cash when she accused an ally of his, Spartz (R-Ind.), of wrongdoing."
"After she broke up with Massie, West said, she was fired by Spartz, who has a reputation as one of the "worst bosses on the Hill," according to Legistorm. This March, according to a proposed agreement obtained by Axios, West was offered a $60,000 settlement in her wrongful termination complaint against Spartz. But it came with a nondisclosure agreement that West refused to sign, she said."
"His campaign later issued a statement, saying: "These last minute dirty tricks don't merit a response. The trashy lies they're putting out now demonstrate how desperate they are." A spokesperson for Spartz said her "office cannot comment on the details of Ms. West's pending allegations, but we can confirm that Ms. West held a temporary 90-day probationary position with our office, and her employment was not extended bey"
A Kentucky Republican primary is described as the most expensive in U.S. House history, with President Trump targeting the incumbent. West says she did not coordinate with Trump’s political operation or with the campaign of Massie’s primary opponent, Ed Gallrein. West alleges Massie offered cash she had previously received during their relationship, and that she later returned it. She says she broke her silence because she resented Massie for calling for transparency about releasing Epstein files, while she alleges he tried to silence her with cash after she accused an ally, Rep. Victoria Spartz, of wrongdoing. West says she worked in Spartz’s office for about six weeks, was fired after the breakup, and was offered a $60,000 settlement with a nondisclosure agreement she refused to sign. Massie declined comment and referred questions to a family law attorney. Massie’s campaign hid replies on X and issued a statement calling the allegations dirty tricks. Spartz’s spokesperson confirmed a temporary 90-day probationary position and said employment was not extended beyond that period.
