Trump’s pick for defense secretary withdraws as past domestic incidents surface by stableford
President Trump announced on Twitter Tuesday that acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has withdrawn from consideration to be his permanent defense chief “so that he can devote more time to his family.”
“Before his divorce, Pat Shanahan’s ex-wife was arrested and charged for domestic violence,” a spokesperson for Shanahan told Yahoo News. “Shanahan asked for the charges to be dropped for the sake of his family and asks that this remain a private matter.” “Shanahan denied hitting her and told police that she was the aggressor and that she had punched him ‘10 to 20 times,’” according to police records obtained by USA Today. Officers noted that Jordinson’s bloody forearm “appeared consistent with her having attacked her husband” and arrested Jordinson on suspicion of domestic violence.The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Shanahan’s son was arrested after a separate 2011 incident “in which he hit his mother with a baseball bat.
