On Friday February 9, 2018, the Washington Post reported that Sorensen resigned, following his former wife's allegations of violence and emotional abuse. [undefined] [undefined] [1]

His ex-wife Corbett stated she feared for her life and said Sorensen had driven a car over her foot, extinguished a cigarette on her hand, and threw her toward a wall.

She provided text messages and emails that she said proved the alleged abuse, including a picture of a scar on her hand she said resulted from the cigarette burn.

After Sorensen was confronted by the allegations, he denied accusations and resigned.

Sorensen stated in a text message that he made his decision because he didn't want the White House to have to deal with this distraction.
