It dont make no sense what was that . Those dogs are dripping in finesse running around the ring. Good morning, america. A lot of eyes, of course, on the westminster competition and the other big competition, as well, the olympics, what a thrilling victory, chloe kim, this is a drop the mic moment.

The first wife of rob porter is taking on the president and top women in the white house for downplaying her claims of Domestic Abuse. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega tracking all the latest. So many tough questions out there and this white house still doesnt have good answers.

This morning, the woman behind this black eye that rocked the white house breaking her silence. Colbie holderness former white house staff secretary rob porters first exwife writes in the Washington Post, im not a partisan, im not an activist, far from it. Others sought us out in the course of investigating rob. Holderness is naming names while sea says she appreciated this from counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway i have no reason not to believe the women. Reporter she was dismayed when conway says she does not fear for White House Communications director hope hicks who is dating porter. Im sorry for any suffering that this woman has endured, but in the case of hope, i have rarely met somebody so strong with excellent up tints with loyalty and smarts. Reporter adding strong women get abused too. Many women get abused, no question. Reporter but holderness said her statement implies that those who have been in abusive relationships are not strong recognizing and surviving in an abusive relationship takes strength. The white house still refusing to say exactly who knew what and when and press secretary Sarah Sanders saying the words that many have wanted the president himself to say. Why havent we heard the president say exactly what you just said that he takes Domestic Violence very seriously . I spoke with the president and those are actually directly his words he gave me. Why hasnt he said that . I spoke to him and he relayed that message directly to me and im relaying it directly to you. Do you believe rob porters accusers or are they lying. The president along with the entire administration take Domestic Violence very seriously and believe all allegations need to be thoroughly investigated. That doesnt answer the question. As i just said im not going to beyond that. Thats where we are right now. Reporter the response from holderness. While i cannot say i am surprised i expected a woman to do better. So we are now on day eight of this controversy. It has overshadowed the release of the president s budget plan yesterday and threatens to ov overshadow the Senate Debate on immigration. Theyre not answering a lot of those questions. As you were pointing out yesterday when the president wants to tweet something he tweets it. He has not made those statements yet. This is putting a lot of focus on this whole issue of security clearances, rob porter had an interim security clearance and looked like he was not going to get the permanent one many other Top White House officials still dont have those including jared kushner. Jared kushner is on that list and Jared Kushners attorney tells the New York Times there are about a dozen or more other people here at the white house that kushners level who do not have this permanent clearance and we know that one of porters exwives told the fbi, george, that she thought he would be subject to blackmail because of these abuse allegations and their discussion, these exwives discussions with the fbi doing their background checks. You mentioned that immigration debate. The president is tweeting about that but the parties appear as far apart as ever. Reporter an unusual scene well be watching with no legislation.
