FBI obtained photo of Porter's ex-wife's bruised face seven days after Trump inauguration: report

Source: The Hill




BY MAX GREENWOOD - 02/16/18 08:32 AM EST

One of former White House staff secretary Rob Porter's ex-wives provided photos of a black eye that Porter allegedly gave her to the FBI a week after President Trump's inauguration last year, according to a CNN report.

The ex-wife, Colbie Holderness, gave the photos to the FBI as part of a security clearance background check on Porter.

It is not clear if the photos were given to the White House, CNN reported, but it is likely that the FBI would have at least provided a synopsis of the images.

Porter resigned from his White House post last week after allegations emerged publicly that the aide had physically and emotionally abused Holderness and another one of his ex-wives. Porter has denied those allegations.

Apparently FBI did not leak details, but CNN obtained the emails from ex-wives who used email to communicate with FBI.

The only reason this whole story became public is because an abused ex-girlfriend who works for Federal govt. (and staying anonymous due to possible reprisals) got together with ex-wives to blow whistle and question why he was still able to have his WH position despite no security clearance.

at least THREE women this guy has abused. I knew about the 2 ex wives but here's another woman, too. That's a pattern indicating serious issues on his part. Good for the women for getting together to see justice done.

Of course, only screwed up people would work for the orange turd. Cruelty is the hallmark of this maladministration and here's yet more proof. Hope Hicks is either stupid or naive.

What a bunch of assholes. The lot of them.

.... they didn't do jack shit. So much for Sarah Huckabee's "John Kelly fired Rob Porter
