Rob Porter, a top former aide to President Donald Trump who was fired earlier this year over domestic abuse allegations, is reportedly a source of information about EPA Administrator Scott Pruitts ethical transgressions that are threatening his future at the agency, after Porters relationship with a top former Pruitt aide soured, Inside EPA reports.
Porter did not respond to requests for comment but two sources say he leaked information about Pruitt after Samantha Dravis, his former girlfriend who resigned last week as head of EPAs policy office, leaked information about his assaults on his two former wives to White House Counsel Don McGahn.
Press reports have indicated that Dravis leaked the information to the White House counsels office after finding out that Porter had been having an affair with now-departed White House Communications Director Hope Hicks.
