Trump administration resigns, allies angry over Capitol Hill violence

- Deputy Press Secretary Sara Matthews also resigned

Washington Thursday, January 7, 2021

Thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump, who is leaving the country this morning, have resigned in the wake of violent riots on Capitol Hill.

Saa Matthews, the Trump administration's deputy press secretary, and Melania Trump's chief of staff, Stephanie Greisch, also resigned in protest of the violence. Trump may remain president until January 20, but given the current situation, it would not be a surprise if the move to remove Trump immediately begins.

A total of four people, including a woman, were killed in the shootings, which were carried out by security forces to prevent violent riots. Social media deleted a video clip of Trump's speech, saying it could lead to more violence.

Details of the resignations of some other appointees have not been made public yet. But according to a report, some of Trump's former allies in the Democratic Party have resigned from key positions. The Trump administration has not yet released details of the mass resignation. But there was no denying the possibility that Trump would lose even the most sympathetic sympathy after the violence.
