Washington, Feb 13 (TIWN) A White House spokesman, T.J. Ducklo, has been suspended for a week without pay after he allegedly threatened to "destroy" a female reporter who was asking questions about his private life.
Ducklo reportedly threatened Politico reporter Tara Palmeri, who was investigating his relationship with another journalist, the BBC reported. White House press secretary Jen Pskai said on Friday that Ducklo had apologised to Palmeri. He has not commented independently. Some observers have criticised US President Joe Biden for failing to take stronger action. He has previously said he would fire "on the spot" any staff speaking disrespectfully to colleagues.
