Senior White House official to resign following allegations of abuse

A senior White House official announced Wednesday he will resign following allegations by his two ex-wives of physical and emotional abuse.
The official, Rob Porter, served as the staff secretary and often controlled the paper flow to President Trumps desk, along with his daily schedule. Porter also oversaw the White Houses policy implementation process and worked closely with chief of staff John F. Kelly to try to instill discipline to the chaotic West Wing. He often spent hours of the day with Trump and frequently traveled with him on Air Force One.

The White House issued statements of support late Tuesday from Kelly, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), Porters previous boss in the Senate.
Rob Porter is a man of true integrity and honor and I cant say enough good things about him. He is a friend, a confidante and a trusted professional. I am proud to serve alongside him, Kelly said Tuesday night, hours before pictures appeared that included one of his ex-wifes blackened eye.

(82,849 posts)These people need to learn the lesson that every rumor or story out of this White House is always - no exceptions - worse when the whole story comes spilling out. You never hear something about the Trump administration and say, "Whoa, that sounds serious," then later say, "Oh, that's not as bad as when I first heard of it." It's always worse.
