"President Donald Trump’s first public remarks, on Friday, about allegations of domestic violence against Rob Porter emphasized that the former White House aide says “he is innocent” but made no mention of Porter’s ex-wives or their accounts of abuse.
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that “it was very sad” when the White House heard of the alleged spousal abuse. His first public reaction since Porter resigned on Wednesday, notably lacked any denunciation of domestic violence, as other officials offered, or any comment on the alleged misconduct.
“He also, as you probably know, says he is innocent, and I think you have to remember that,” Trump noted. “He said very strongly yesterday that he is innocent.”
The president also praised Porter, who he said “worked very hard” while serving in the West Wing as staff secretary, and wished him well on his future ventures.
“We certainly wish him well,” he said. “It’s obviously a tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the White House.””*
