String of White House Resignations Follow Violent Storming of U.S. Capitol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

First lady Melania Trump's chief of staff and former White House press
secretary, Stephanie Grisham, resigned just hours after Trump supporters
stormed the Capitol. Deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger
also quit, as did Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, who
said, "I was deeply disturbed by what I saw today." Other, more senior
Trump administration officials are reportedly considering resigning,
including national security adviser Robert O'Brien and Transportation
Secretary Elaine Chao.
