«Breaking News» GOP press adviser resigns amid reports that he was fired from a previous job for sexual harassment

Garrett Ventry, 29, has resigned from his role as communications aide for the Senate Judiciary Committee amid reports that he was fired from a previous political job after a female coworker accused him of sexual harassment

A press adviser leading the GOP's response to the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has resigned.

Garrett Ventry, 29, stepped down from his role as communications aide for the Senate Judiciary Committee amid reports that he had been fired from a previous political job in part because of a sexual harassment allegation against him.

Ventry denied any past 'allegations of misconduct' in a statement to NBC News Saturday.   

Reports of Ventry's alleged misconduct come as the committee chaired by Iowa Sen Chuck Grassley struggles to respond to claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted his classmate Christine Blasey Ford at a high school party 36 years ago.

When asked about the allegations against the committee aide, spokesman Taylor Foy responded in a statement: 'While [Ventry] strongly denies allegations of wrongdoing, he decided to resign to avoid causing any distraction from the work of the committee.' 

Ventry had been leading the GOP's response to allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh assaulted his classmate Christine Blasey Ford at a high school party 36 years ago

NBC reports that Republicans familiar with the situation were concerned that Ventry could not lead an effective communications response to the Ford allegations because of his history. 

However, insiders have remained quiet following the news of his resignation. 

North Carolina House Majority Leader John Bell, who fired Ventry from his role of social media adviser in 2017, told NBC: 'Mr Ventry did work in my office and he's no longer there, he moved on.'

Sources say Ventry was booted from Bell's office after a female coworker accused him of sexual harassment. 

He was also found to have embellished parts of his resume, according to NBC. 

One insider claimed Ventry's termination was unusually abrupt, telling the news outlet: 'It caused a lot of staff drama. It was the chatter of the staff.  

'The whole thing got turned into a he said, she said, and then Garrett was fired.'

NBC has reached out to the woman who allegedly accused Ventry of harassment but she has not responded as of midday Saturday.  

Ventry declined to answer questions regarding his departure from Bell's office but released the letter of resignation he had sent to the North Carolina representative.  

'Thank you for the opportunity to serve on the staff of the North Carolina House Majority leader at the North Carolina General Assembly,' the letter said.

Ventry also resigned Saturday from the public relations company where he had been on a temporary leave of absence to work for the Judiciary Committee.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
