White House speechwriter David Sorensen has reportedly resigned on Friday amid allegations that he was abusive to his wife during their marriage.

Sorensen has denied the allegations — instead claiming he was the person abused in the two-and-a-half year relationship — but he nevertheless stepped aside amid the fallout of White House staff secretary Rob Porter, according to The Washington Post.

A White House spokesman said when confronted, Sorensen denied the allegations but resigned on Friday.

Sorensen told the Washington Post that he “didn’t want the White House to have to deal with another distraction”

Before serving in the White House, Sorensen worked for Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage.

The Washington Post detailed allegations his ex-wife Jessica Corbett made against him — including that he ran a car over her foot, put out a cigarette on her hand, threw her into a wall and grasped her by her hair while they were alone on their boat.

In a statement to the paper, Sorensen said he was “the victim of repeated physical violence during our marriage, not her.”

Porter resigned two days ago after it was revealed that he abused his two ex-wifes.

Chief of Staff John Kelly is under fire over his handling of the allegations against Porter and the eventual fallout.
