White House staff secretary resigns amid abuse allegations

White House staff secretary resigns amid abuse allegations
By Jordan Fabian - 02/07/18 01:39 PM EST

Rob Porter, the White House staff secretary, resigned Wednesday after he was accused of physical and emotional abuse by two of his ex-wives.

The resignation came after photos of his first wife's bruised and battered face surfaced online.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a statement from Porter at the daily press briefing on Wednesday minutes after multiple news outlets reported he had resigned.
 
“These outrageous allegations are simply false. I took the photos given to the media nearly 15 years ago and the reality behind them is nowhere close to what is being described. I have been transparent and truthful about these vile claims, but I will not further engage publicly with a coordinated smear campaign,” Porter said in a statement.

”I can tell you that Rob has been an effective in his role as staff secretary. The president and chief of staff have full confidence and trust in his abilities and his performance.”


When pressed about his abilities, Sanders added, “I think it’s obvious from the picture Rob has a decent left hook.”

It was just a matter of time before something bad happened. I've worked with a number of azzholes that management loved. I'm surprised the FBI let him stay that long.

No, no tin foil @txradioguy  .... But why go pubic with this years after the "fact"?   One of the gals is even remarried.

Can you think of one reasonable explanation?  If so, please share.  Thanks.

Reports are that it came out as a result of interviews with the ex-wives as the standard background investigation for his security clearance.

If the women were getting mouthy and asking for it I don't see a problem.

BTW isn't being a Secretary women's work?

Exactly and he knew it would be a problem, so they slow walked the process and gave him temp status.  I understand OJ, Robert Wagner, and Ray Rice are available.

I wouldn't say that too loudly around this guy:
