A White House press aide has resigned after threatening a Politico reporter.

The reporter was writing a story about a relationship between the aide, TJ Ducklo, and an Axios reporter. 

Ducklo was suspended after attacking the journalist, telling her he would end her career. He resigned a day later.

Ducklo released a statement on Twitter, saying he is embarrassed and regrets his actions, not only for himself, but for his White House colleagues, including President Biden.
