TJ Ducklo resigned on Saturday after threatening Politico reporter Tara Palmeri
Palmeri was investigating his romance with Axios reporter Alexi McCammond
His threat to destroy Palmeri was made on January 20 but revealed this week
The couple announced their relationship in an interview last week before the scandal about Ducklo s threats was published
The interview came after the White House had been informed of the threats We weren t going to let bullies get in the way of our own happiness, McCammond said in the interview
The couple claimed they immediately told their bosses when they began dating in November as McCammond was already a rising star on the Biden beat
