Shortly after this article was published, Steve Schmidt, another co-founder of the group, resigned from the board after controversy over the public disclosure of a private Twitter direct message between former Lincoln Project co-founder Jennifer Horn and a reporter.
"That direct message should never have been made public. It is my job as the senior leader to accept responsibility for the tremendous misjudgment to release it," Schmidt said.
In a letter announcing his resignation, Schmidt apologized to Horn, who recently quit the group, and revealed he had been sexually molested by a medic while a 13-year-old boy at a Boy Scout camp.
