White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday deflected when asked about a report that alleged abusive behavior by a top aide to first lady Jill Biden, saying it’s “hard to look into” the allegations because the claims were made anonymously.

I’m not aware of that being the intention,” Psaki told reporters at her daily press briefing.

The White House previously was put in a tough spot when Ducklo lashed out at Politico Playbook co-author Tara Palmeri for helping work on an article about his relationship with then-Axios reporter Alexi McCammond

Ducklo allegedly told Palmeri that he would “destroy” her for reporting on the apparent conflict of interest

Ducklo allegedly told Palmeri that she was just “jealous” that another man had “wanted to f–k” McCammond “and not you.”

Rather than immediately punish Ducklo, top White House press officers allegedly slammed Palmeri to her editors for relaying Ducklo’s abuse

After Ducklo’s conduct was revealed publicly, the White House initially stood by him and announced a brief suspension
