White House press aide quits

Washington

A White House press aide who repeatedly threatened a reporter working on a story about his romantic life resigned on Saturday. Vanity Fair reported Friday that the aide, TJ Ducklo, told a reporter for Politico “I will destroy you” and made other crude remarks when asked to comment on a report that he was dating a Washington journalist.

The White House initially suspended him without pay. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement Saturday that Ducklo had resigned.—AP
