WASHINGTON: A White House speechwriter resigned Friday after his ex-wife said he abused her, the second official from President Donald Trump's administration to step down over such accusations in a week.

Deputy White House spokesman Raj Shah said the White House only learned late Thursday about allegations against David Sorensen.

"We immediately confronted the staffer, he denied the allegations and he resigned today," Shah said.
