First Rob Porter News Today

This is the republican version of the document that alleged fbi surveillance abuses. the president had apparently made up his mind having not even seen the memo and he released it despite the fbi concerns that it was inaccurate. so now that it is back in the house, it is unclear whether democrats whether choose to go ahead and redact it or if they will simply let the memo die. >> and talk to us too about this other developing story, a second white house staffer resigning over allegations of dome...

Listen to what he said about women then. >> mr. president, what is your message to women? this is a pivotal moment in our nations history. >> women are very special. i think it is a very special time because a lot much things are coming out and i think that is good for our society. and i think that it is very, very good for women. and im very happy a lot of these things are coming out. and im very happy seeing it exposed. >> he was happy it was being exposed in that particular case. not one word...

Was not him against his ex-wife. but he immediately resigned. that is very different than what we have seen from the president when it came to rob porter, a man who the fbi had said, look, there could be some problems here, both of his ex-wives say that he was a domestic abusabus. they had a criminal complaint from the second ex-wife. and yet this man was given security clear answer, not full clearance, but some security clearance. and he was right next to the president that whole year. that the...

>> and one of the things that i think people have a hard time reconciling is they see one person publicly and they dont see them privately when these stories come out. jennifer willoughbys story is about what she went through with rob porter were heartbreaking and people were saying this is not the man i know. but we know the dr. jek keckyll mr. hyde does exist. yes, we need proof, but we have to recognize that there is not proof either about sfwlp domestic violen. >> domestic violence goes on b...

Message yesterday about porter. >> i just read that before i walked on stage, a statement from the president saying he wishes him luck. he has so much talent. that is like saying that ax murderer out there, he is a great painter. no, translate this into everyday terms. is there any other crime, and it is a crime, where there would be an explanation that the reason why we shouldnt pay attention to the transgression is because they are good at something? >> senator, two questions. one, do you thin...

Seems that people knew, that mr. kelly knew, and that for a long time. and that there were problems with mr. porters security clearance. and now there is another person being accused. so it is really disturbing. >> and what do you make of the very swift movement of david sorenson immediately resigning and getting out of the way as opposed to what we know about porter and the fact that the fbi had looked into this and they had mentioned to the white house -- the fbi even talked to their ex-wives ...

Will get more stringent? >> well, i think that part of the reason kelly was brought in as chief staff was to try to bring a greater structure and order to the white house. and clearly what weve seen with these revelations in recent weeks and frankly the chaos hasnt really stopped within the white house. the reason why the fbi does these background checks and the reason why porters clearance was held up is because they are concerned that if they find something like this in somebodys background, i...

Classified information possible and was doing so without having the permanent clearance because the fbi was still adjudicating his clearance and it was held up in part because of these issues. so what is really puzzling here is why is the fbi taking so long to address these cases and why isnt the white house moving more quickly to try to deal with these issues as they become more aware of them. >> it is interesting because vice president pence overnight in an interview said that he was appalled ...
