In a statement, Shanahan confirmed he was withdrawing from consideration for the Cabinet post and was resigning from the Department of Defense altogether. He called it"unfortunate" that details from the Post story were “dredged up” and said that continuing with the confirmation process would harm his children.
NBC News has not confirmed The Post’s report, which was based on two days of interviews with Shanahan, as well as court records and police records from Sarasota, Florida, and Seattle, as well as other information that had not been previously made public. NBC News has not reviewed any of the documents.
Weeks after the attack, The Post reported, Shanahan defended his son, writing in a memo that he had acted in “self-defense.” “I don't believe violence is appropriate ever, and certainly never any justification for attacking someone with a baseball bat,” he told The Post. White House officials have known for a while that support in the Senate for Shanahan’s confirmation was not completely assured, and the administration has known about the reported domestic violence incidents for some time, the sources said.
Blumenthal said there was “absolutely no reason" for failing to disclose to the committee"that there was something in this nominee’s past … that was deliberately concealed or mistakenly covered up.”“This is potentially a violation of criminal law,” Blumenthal added. “Lying to the Armed Services Committee, not to mention to the president if he failed to mention it there, is a violation.
