Second White House official departs amid abuse allegations

Second White House official departs amid abuse allegations, which he denies

A White House speechwriter resigned Friday after his former wife claimed that he was violent and emotionally abusive during their turbulent 2½ -year marriage — allegations that he vehemently denied, saying she was the one who victimized him.

The abrupt departure of David Sorensen, a speechwriter who worked under senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, came as The Washington Post was reporting on a story about abuse claims by his ex-wife, Jessica Corbett. Corbett told The Post that she described his behavior to the FBI last fall as the bureau was conducting a background check of Sorensen.

White House officials said they learned of the accusations by Sorensen’s wife Thursday night, before The Post contacted the White House for comment.

“We immediately confronted the staffer, he denied the allegations and he resigned today,” spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement Friday evening.

In a text message to The Post, Sorensen said he stepped down because he “didn’t want the White House to have to deal with this distraction.”

Sorensen’s resignation comes two days after another administration official, staff secretary Rob Porter, departed after two ex-wives said that he physically abused them. Senior White House officials and the FBI knew about the allegations for months, raising questions about why he was allowed to remain in his post.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

So the I hire only the best people as long as they are not fully vetted appears to be the case.

Re: Second White House official departs amid abuse allegations

It becomes more and more clear as to why the Donald Trump, his White House staff, and others who are blindly loyal to the Liar-In-Chief have mounted and intensified their dishonest campaign to demonize the FBI, CIA, other intelligence agencies, and the DOJ. Calling those organizations biased anti-Trump havens for enemies of the state. Their unreasonable impetus for doing so is because the Trump cabal has obviously ignored negative reports on Trump and inside staffers that were brought to light months ago during security clearance investigations. Trump and his cohorts figured, if they just ignored those transgressions, they would go away or they could cover them up. Trump and his fellow conspirators obviously favor loyalty far above honesty.

The closer law enforcement entities get to the root of Trump’s illegal collusion and obstruction, the more his core group of supporters will align around his lies and increase their attacks on any person or group they determine to be opposition. This is going to get uglier.

Re: Second White House official departs amid abuse allegations

We have a president who bends over backward to give the benefit of the doubt to neo-Nazis, wife beaters, pedophiles and sexual predators.

We have a president who out of some puerile sense of grievance honors Russia and dishonors the F.B.I.

We have a president who suggests that Democrats who don’t clap for him are treasonous and who seems more enthralled by authoritarian ways than democratic ones.

We have a president who promises an A team but surrounds himself with dreckitude,

We have a President who loves generals but trashes Gold Star parents



And those who long for an idealized past of white male dominence will rally around him in increasing desperation.
