David Sorenson was a Trump Administration speechwriter. Previously he worked for Maine Governor LePage. He was forced to resign when his ex-wife Jessica Corbett came forward with allegations of emotional and physical abuse.
Corbett first contacted The Post a week before Porter’s case became public. She said that during her marriage to Sorensen, he ran a car over her foot, put out a cigarette on her hand, threw her into a wall and grasped her menacingly by her hair while they were alone on their boat in remote waters off Maine’s coast, an incident she said left her fearing for her life. During part of their marriage, he was a top policy adviser to Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage.
