Andy Puzder, the fast food chain CEO who was President Donald Trumps pick to run the Labor Department, has withdrawn his nomination, according to the Associated Press.
Ever since his nomination for the position of labor secretary was announced last year, Puzder has been a lightning rod for controversy, as hes faced past allegations of both spousal abuse and mistreatment of his workers.
Puzders withdrawal had been widely expected to occur sometime within the next 24 hours, and has now been confirmed by both Fox Business Network and NBC News.
A source close to the CKE Restaurants CEO told CBSs Major Garrett that he was very tired of the abuse that he received as part of his confirmation process.

(14,167 posts)3. He's tired of the abuse? Apparently so was his ex-wife!
So glad another one of these morons is biting the dust.
There must have been a lot more damaging info out there on him.
Edited to add context:
Puzder "assaulted and battered me by striking me violently about the face, chest, back, shoulders and neck, without provocation or cause," leaving bruises and contusions to the chest, back, shoulders and neck and two ruptured discs and two bulging discs, among other injuries.
