WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two top aides to first lady Melania Trump resigned on Wednesday in the wake of violence on Capitol Hill, and more top White House officials were considering resigning, including national security adviser Robert O\u2019Brien and his deputy, Matthew Pottinger, sources familiar with the matter said.<\/p>

Stephanie Grisham resigned as chief of staff to the first lady after supporters of President Donald Trump violently occupied the U.S. Capitol in an effort to block Congress from certifying the presidential election results.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an honor to serve the country in the White House. I am very proud to have been a part of Mrs. Trump\u2019s mission to help children everywhere, and proud of the many accomplishments of this administration,\u201d Grisham said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Grisham, who spent a year as White House press secretary before becoming chief of staff to the first lady, did not say whether her resignation was in reaction to the violence in the nation\u2019s capital, but a source familiar with her decision said the violence was the last straw for her.<\/p>\n

The White House social secretary, Rickie Niceta, also resigned, as did a deputy White House press secretary, Sarah Matthews, two sources told Reuters.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien was also considering resigning, as was Pottinger, the deputy national security adviser who has been a key voice on China policy within the administration, two sources said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just spoke with Vice President Pence,\u201d O\u2019Brien said in a statement earlier Wednesday, adding, \u201cI am proud to serve with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was also chatter inside the White House that deputy chief of staff Chris Liddell might resign, a source said.<\/p>\n

The White House declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Multiple injuries were reported and one woman was killed in the melee at the Capitol, as Trump supporters responded to the president\u2019s call to protest his loss in November\u2019s presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump has repeatedly and baselessly claimed the election was marred by fraudulent voting.<\/p>\n

Biden will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n
