Journalists pushed back against President Trump Donald John TrumpObama calls on Senate not to fill Ginsburg's vacancy until after election Planned Parenthood: 'The fate of our rights' depends on Ginsburg replacement Progressive group to spend M in ad campaign on Supreme Court vacancy MORE's tweet Saturday saying people's lives are being destroyed by "a mere allegation," a comment that sparked backlash on social media.

Trump decried how people's "lives are being shattered and destroyed be a mere allegation" after two White House aides abruptly resigned this week following claims of past domestic abuse.

While Trump did not mention any specific allegations, he wrote: "Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused - life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?"

Trump's tweet came after the White House grappled with controversy this week surrounding allegations of past domestic abuse against staff secretary Rob Porter from his two ex-wives.

Porter denied the allegations after his two ex-wives came forward to accuse him of physically and emotionally abusing them during their marriages. He resigned on Wednesday after photos emerged showing his first wife with a bruised face.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper rebuffed Trump's complaints of allegations being accepted as facts, writing Saturday, "In point of fact, 2 ex-wives talking on the record to journalists and to the FBI and one ex-girlfriend on background, with a photo of a black eye and a police report, is not 'a mere allegation.' "

"I think he misspelled 'restraining order and photos of a black eye,'" tweeted David Martosko, a political editor for Daily Mail, the publication that first published the stories of Porter's ex-wives this week.
