Instance where all of what people describe as kellys shortcomings kind of came together to make a bad situation worse. i think what white house officials told us is they were concerned that kelly was saying one thing publicly, and actually doing something differently privately. you know, he had access to rob porters fbi file, were told that he actually encouraged him to stay for at least 18 hours after the first report of these allegations, kelly later told staffers to say that he had moved to f...

That he knew about accusations against porter and kept him on the job. theres reports kelly is willing to resign. adam schiff reported this, the failure to fire porter are indicative of a moral failing and conundrum. heres spokesperson katrina pearson. thank you for joining me. the story has moved a bit. at first it was all about porter and then he was gone. the focus is on kelly. what are your thoughts? >> you wonder who was the target here. this is also being politicalized considering the clim...

Leaking on him tells me that hes lost the faith of the staff there. and you have to wonder whether all of this is a prelude to him leaving the job altogether. >> i didnt understand how the white house yesterday kept saying, well, theres this ongoing security investigation, and its not resolved, and therefore were not going to comment, and we dont want to go into the details. i mean how should this have been handled if information like this became known to the chief of staff and clearly others in...

Gave more responsibility to porter, the way its been handled this week, the lavish praise, relying on hope hicks, whos dating porter, to provide the talking points that he released lavishly praising porter, and then the changing stories over the next 24 hours. this has been a fiasco, and what is interesting to me, anderson, is that the story leaked out -- >> well, thats whats so incredible. within hours. >> yeah. which tells me that kelly has a real problem with the white house staff. one of the...

Committee override all of this if the republicans are on board? >> we are told, our colleagues say the republicans arent eager to override the president on this. they have redactions. they have identified specific parts of the memo that are problematic. so perhaps they can work through that. but at this point, i dont see devin nunes leading the charge to override president trump. >> everyone stick around. we are going to hear from a democratic member of the intelligence committee. later rob port...

Agape. they called the white house press corps in for the express purpose of addressing this issue, and the president delivered a full-throated defense of porter and not one word of solis tud for the victims. in fact, he appeared to be doing what hes done in many other instances like this. he appeared to be blaming the alleged victims here. so if no one said to him, whether it was kelly or anyone else -- if no one said to him going into this scrum, mr. president, if you dont do anything else, yo...

>> yeah. i was scared. >> after that the police officer recommended that he get a temporary order of protection. the president did not mention her today. nor did john kellys memo or his public statement last night acknowledge any of porters accusers. the what stands out is the presidents defense of an alleged abuser and total lack of consideration of the accusers and their allegations. and as stunning as that, maybe it isnt as stunning this president has had a history of doing for others what he...

Rob porter mess, we want to take a closer look at the man in question, chief of staff john kelly, who came to the white house of course after president trumps first chief of staff, reince priebus resigned after only a few months on the job. kellys marching orders were to turn staff chaos into a semblance of normalcy. given all the news this week, heres that question, how is that turning out? david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama, knows the job general kelly was hired to do. so ...
