Donald Trump Hammered For Response To Resignation Of Rob Porter<\/b>
\nDonald Trump has praised a White House aide accused of domestic violence, saying his resignation is \u201cvery sad\u201d and he will have a \u201cgreat career ahead of him\u201d.<\/p>\n

The President added that Rob Porter, who resigned this week after allegations that he abused two former wives, had maintained his innocence, and he wished him well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe says he\u2019s innocent. I think you have to remember that. He said very strongly yesterday that he\u2019s innocent,\u201d Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly wish him well. It\u2019s obviously a tough time for him, and he did a very good job in the White House. We hope he has a wonderful career ahead of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we hope he has a wonderful career and he will have a great career ahead of him. But it was very sad when we heard about it and certainly he\u2019s also very sad now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President did not refer to the two women<\/a> who have this week provided graphic accounts of the verbal and physical abuse they said they suffered while married to Porter, reports Reuters.<\/p>\n

One of the women<\/a>,\u00a0Colbie Holderness, has alleged Porter punched her in the face while holidaying in Italy.<\/p>\n

“As you probably know, he says he is innocent and I think you have to remember that.” \u2014 Trump pic.twitter.com\/Q80OEr91WI<\/a>
\nWhat’s “sad” is having a complete moral vacuum in the Oval Office. Domestic violence is evil, and there aren’t “both sides” on this issue. Real leaders stand with survivors, not perpetrators.<\/p>\n

\nHey @realDonaldTrump, super-courageous statements about Porter today. You’re right — he’s going through a hard time and he needs our all our support. t.co\/58Nw396SHe<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe mix of messages coming out of the WH on Porter: Kelly ordering WH staff to say he took “immediate action”; POTUS touting Porter’s claims of innocence; Shah saying WH against violence… Points to 2 conclusions: -they don’t give a damn about predators -they lie compulsively<\/p>\n

February 9, 2018
\nTrump said he found out about the allegations recently, and was \u201csurprised\u201d by them.<\/p>\n

White House spokesman Raj Shah said on Thursday the White House was not fully aware of the extent of the allegations against Porter until photographs of one of his ex-wives with a black eye emerged on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Shah also said the crisis could have better handled by senior White House officials. \u201cA lot of us could have done better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porter is a Harvard Law School graduate whose position as White House staff secretary required a security clearance and close contact with Trump.<\/p>\n

At the time of his resignation,\u00a0Porter had not yet been approved for security clearance because the required background check was still ongoing.
