Kushner Ally Rob Porter Resigns from White House amid Domestic Abuse Allegations
Breitbart ^ | February 7, 2018 | Ben Kew

Posted on 02/07/2018 12:13:27 PM PST by be-baw

White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter has resigned amid allegations that he abused two of his ex-wives. The Daily Mail reported on domestic abuse allegations on Wednesday from two of Porter’s ex-wives, Colbie Holderness and Jennifer Willoughby, who shared stories and photo evidence of repeated physical abuse.

According to Axios, Porter had been urged by some White House staff including Gen. John Kelly to “stay and fight” for his position.

Porter, the Daily Mail previously reported, is currently in a relationship with White House Communications Director Hope Hicks and was a close ally of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

2 ex wives... and he’s now dating Hope Hicks?

That’s what he gets for being a playah. Someone is going to get pee-o’d.

It never ends well.

They both were in the White House (Kushner & Porter) and they both worked for Trump. Allies?

What did this story have to do with Kushner?

They have photo evidence of abuse.

This was in the 2000s when this wasn’t tolerated and women had support avenues.

And they never went to the police for assault?

This is another coordinated PR smear.

Remnants of Bannon’s pals, I guess.

"He had no business being near the POTUS with that kind of behavior."

.... "And Porter's first ex-wife, Holderness, revealed to DailyMail.com that she was interviewed by the FBI – as was Willoughby..."

I wonder if the FBI withheld this from Trump in order to have him get blindsided. After all, I have to feel that if Trump knew about this, that he would have fired him on the spot.

Porter is very charismatic. People were impressed by how he worked. But his inability to get security clearance should have finished him off.

I wonder if he is still LDS after all that.

Perhaps he’s innocent and being smeared?

In this case I doubt the FBI would’ve withheld it intentionally. If they didn’t find anything crime worthy (no charges were filed after all) its unethical to publicly report the details (and possibly criminal with privacy laws)and likely they reported “accusations of domestic abuse” and left it at that.

‘Someone in Breitbart hates Kushner’

Still? I thought that would stop when Bannon left. I no longer visit the site, though, so I have no idea whether anything there has changed.

But not now in the same week as Steve Wynn (Trump friend and GOP fundraiser)
Why aren’t the Dems being called out? Sure you’ve got Franken but they’re already saying it was wrong for him to be ousted.
