President Donald Trump on Saturday said that lives were being "shattered" by allegations that may be false after two of his White House aides quit over domestic abuse accusations.
Trump's White House has been heavily criticized for its handling of the allegations, which come amid a national debate over sexual misconduct and how it should be dealt with. Critics say the president's chief of staff, John Kelly, has badly mishandled the matter and that his future may be in doubt.
"Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation," Trump tweeted.
"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?" The remark by the president - himself the target of numerous harassment claims - came after White House speechwriter David Sorensen resigned on Friday, even while denying his wife's claims of abuse. And staff secretary Rob Porter stepped down Wednesday after abuse allegations from two former wives became public. He called the allegations "outrageous" and "simply false."
