"Update: And now we learn that, according to White House staff, Kelly tried to get aides to pass along a version of his actions that they consider to be untrue. Kelly reportedly wanted them to say he acted to remove Porter within 40 minutes of learning the abuse allegations against him were credible. As I argued, it's the latest sign that Kelly is treading water.
White House spokesman Raj Shah wouldn't elaborate Thursday on when Chief of Staff John F. Kelly and others became aware of allegations of spousal abuse by former staff secretary Rob Porter. And now we know why: It's pretty damning.
The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey and Beth Reinhard report that White House counsel Donald McGahn knew for a year about allegations Porter's ex-wives made against him to the FBI and that Kelly learned about them this fall, as they were holding up Porter's full security clearance. And yet Porter kept rising in the White House.
It's really difficult not to call this a scandal now."
