White House deputy press secretary T.J. Ducklo has resigned after he allegedly threatened a reporter who was pursuing a story about his relationship with another reporter.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the resignation, saying the decision followed a discussion with Ducklo on Feb. 13. Ducklo is the first White House aide to depart President Joe Biden’s administration, just less than a month into his tenure.
