The White House reportedly arranged an off-the-record meeting between four reporters and former aide Rob Porter after he was accused of domestic abuse.

Politico reported that in the hours after a photo surfaced of one of Porter's ex-wives with a black eye, a meeting was planned by White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

The meeting included The New York Times' Maggie Haberman, The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey, Axios' Jonathan Swan and The Wall Street Journal's Michael Bender.

During the off-the-record meeting, Porter told his story, according to Politico. He also answered questions.

It would be interesting to ask reporters about an off the record meeting and hear them say 'no comment.'
