White House deputy press secretary T. J. Ducklo resigned Saturday after it was revealed that he threatened to ruin her career for researching a story about his relationship with a Politico reporter, WUSA CBS-9 in Washington reports.
Ducklo reportedly used sexist slurs when talking with Politico reporter Tara Palmeri about his relationship with political reporter and commentator Alexi McCammond.
In a statement, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said administration officials had a discussion with Ducklo after which he offered his resignation, which the White House accepted.
