from www.tmz.com – Gloria Allred just went after Meg Whitman with a vengeance … waiving a letter from the Social Security Administration sent to Meg back in 2003, putting Meg and her husband on notice there was a problem with their housekeeper’s Social Security number — a sign she was here illegally.
Earlier today Whitman suggested the housekeeper, Nicky Diaz Santillan, may have intercepted the letter and never given it to Whitman and her husband. Whitman says she never got the letter.
But today, Gloria produced the letter with what she says is a written command from Meg’s husband — “Nicky, please check this.”
Earlier today Whitman said she would take a polygraph test — but Gloria says Nicky doesn’t have to take a polygraph test because she has the letter as proof, and “the evidence speaks for itself.”
As for Whitman’s claim that Gloria is working with Jerry Brown to engineer a smear campaign — Gloria says she has not made any contribution to Brown’s campaign and hasn’t had any contact with Brown or his people.
But the that’s-so-Gloria moment of the news conference came when she called Nicky, “The courageous Rosa Parks” of the Latino community.
Back story: Meg Whitman says she’s the victim of a political smear campaign– engineered by Gloria Allred and Jerry Brown — and she’s suggesting her former housekeeper stole a critical piece of mail.
Whitman acknowledges former housekeeper Nicky Diaz Santillan confessed after 9 years she falsified documents. Whitman says she was “shocked” and had no choice but to fire her for lying and breaking the law.
Whitman says Jerry Brown should be “ashamed of what his allies are trying to do here.”
Whitman says her housekeeper is being used by “cynical people around her” — i.e., Gloria Allred.
Whitman says she never received a letter from the Social Security Administration informing her there was an irregularity in Nicky’s Social Security number. Whitman says Nicky is the one who picked up her mail, so she may have intercepted it and never turned it over.
Whitman says she would take a polygraph test to prove that she’s not lying.
