Keeping them honest allowing for confusion there on general kelly's part, it pales next to the bigger question, why did the white house continue to defend porter on the seventh. so there is that, which is hard enough to explain, but what makes general kelly's time line so bizarre is we had evidence almost from the beginning. you will hear shortly from the daily mail editor who sought comment. everything they had on both - ex-wives including the physical abuse allegations. unless the press office didn't mention it to the chief of staff who also happened to be porter's boss, he already knew it f...

That. and we also know from what chris wray said on the hill that both of the ex-wives had spoken to the fbi about this earlier. there is no question that there was information from the fbi that should have raised flags from the bucketful. and no question in my mind that he got a complete read. >> the other thing i don't get is why general kelly would re-litigate this today and also give himself a pat on the back at the same time. >> it was an unforced error. no reason to re-litigate any of this. we can speculate about whether he is worried about his job being on the line. trying to explain to...

Embarrassing or damaging truth, the white house first instint is to lie about it. for more now, the reaction that i alluded to it, let's bring in jim acosta who is at the white house. do we know why general kelly would choose to rehash this today several weeks after the original reaction from the white house? >> reporter: i think he wanted to put the matter to rest, but by all accounts that we are hearing from officials here, this was sort of a four-star foul up on the part of the general. just a few moments ago, he said he did not become a wear of these red flags of porter's background until ...
