| 2018-02-10 |
| [FoxNews] A White House speechwriter, David Sorensen, is resigning amid domestic abuse allegations, Fox News has confirmed. Sorensen's exit comes two days after another administration official, Staff Secretary Rob Porter, departed amid allegations by two ex-wives that he physically abused them. "Before we were contacted by the media, we learned last night that there were allegations," said Raj Shah, principal deputy secretary. "We immediately confronted the staffer, he denied the allegations and he resigned today." Sorensen, a well-known GOP operative in Maine, worked as a senior adviser to Gov. Paul LePage, according to a May 2017 article in The Portland Press Herald. According to the White House, his position did not require a security clearance and his background check was ongoing. The Washington Post, which first reported news of Sorensen's exit, said a former wife claimed he had been viollent and emotionally abusive during their two and a half years of marriage. The paper said he had vehemently denied the allegations, saying he was the victim of domestic violence in the marriage. |

| #7 Just saying: My future-ex was at her cousin's house with his wife and her own sister putting makeup on her to photograph like she'd been beat. He called me, I called my Attorney, and my Atty called them to let them know he knew what they were doing and the penalties for falsifying evidence.... Nothing was produced. But, if he hadn't called me....I'd have been screwed, no matter what. I have no sympathy for beaters and abusers of EITHER sex, and yes, it happens both ways. Guys don't wanna admit their SO hit/beat them |
