Porter’s ex-wives: No one from the White House has reached out

CNN — The two ex-wives of disgraced former aide Rob Porter tell CNN on Tuesday that they have not heard from anyone at the White House since they went public with stories of abuse, even as the administration insists that President Donald Trump “supports victims of domestic violence.” On Monday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders repeatedly told reporters that “above all, the President supports victims of domestic violence.” Her insistence came as the White House continues to confront the fallout from Porter’s resignation last week, after two of his ex-wives publicly accused him of years of verbal, emotional and physical abuse. Colbie Holderness and Jennie Willoughby told CNN that they have had no contact with anyone from the White House since their allegations of abuse made public last week. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?” Asked point-blank whether Trump believes Porter’s accusers on Monday, Sanders said: “The President, along with the entire administration, take domestic violence very seriously and believe all allegations need to be thoroughly investigated. And, above all, the President supports the victims of domestic violence and believes everyone should be treated fairly and with due process.” Pressed again on whether Trump believes Holderness and Willoughby, Sanders responded: “I’m not going to go beyond that.”
