In a resignation letter released by the White House just after midnight on Sunday, Mr. Jones said he was the victim of a smear campaign.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” he wrote. “They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
Mr. Jones said while he’s been getting encouragement from both political parties to “stay and fight,” he “cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past.”
“We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future,” he said, adding in the letter for Council on Environmental Quality Chairman Nancy Sutley that he has been honored to serve the president.
Ms. Sutley issued a short statement thanking Mr. Jones for his work and calling him a “strong voice for creating 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources.”
Politicians had been calling for Mr. Jones to resign after it was revealed in recent days he signed a petition supporting 9/11 conspiracy theories and has made other unflattering statements caught on video.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs offered a less-than-stellar endorsement of Mr. Jones on Friday.
The holiday weekend release has been used by many politicians to attempt to lessen bad publicity.

I bet Rahm loved making that call ../S
Oh, yeah, it was a "smear" campaign, that is why he stole away in the middle of the night like a sneak thief. It reminds me of what one writer said about Lenin when the Germans sent him back to Russia in 1917, " The sealed him in a boxcar like some Bacillus Plague and turned him lose on the world!". Only this time we use penicillin on the Bacteria.
A VICIOUS SMEAR CAMPAIGN?
This from Mr. Communist, race baiter, smear machine himself?
Well, how does it FEEL when FACTS AND YOUR OWN WORDS are made public for all to see and hear?
STARWISE, I'm telling you, I never dreamed I'd witness such arrogance and audacity in such a blatant attempt to overthrow our government by undermining and through the White House to boot.
Oh I knew Obama was a Marxist and I knew he had one party rule, but really, who suspected he'd have all these radical czars writing legislation and determining where stimulus (spendulus) money would go?
The battle is on. He was done in by a SMEAR CAMPAIGN? !!!! The very first Republican to fold, had better join Van Jones under the bus.
