Fired Anti-LGBT Trump Appointee Now Claims Jacob Wohl Took Her Phone To Post Inflammatory Tweets

Will Sommer reports at The Daily Beast:

The federal agency primarily responsible for the distribution of foreign aid has been roiled in recent days by the most Trumpian of dramas, one involving an anti-LGBT political appointee, blundering conservative operative Jacob Wohl, accusations of stalking, prostitution, and the potential hiring of a young conservative with past racist writings.

The chaos seemed set to crest with a slap-dash press conference scheduled for this Thursday.

But within a day of the presser’s announcement, the main protagonist was apparently recanting her accusations and insinuating that Wohl had stolen her phone and signed into her Twitter account to send the offending messages that set off the fireworks that got her fired.

As with all things Jacob Wohl, there is much, much more, including a desperate apology from the fired nutjob.

The Merritt Corrigan saga somehow gets even weirder. She now says the tweets that got her fired were actually sent by Jacob Wohl and/or Jack Burkman, whom she suggests took her phone. “I became involved with people who…conned me” https://t.co/UqLmn9Vf8u

Why isn’t Jacob Wohl in Federal Prison for the rest of his life?

That’s on my Congressional “To Do” list.
