The White House is refusing to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into how former White House staff secretary Rob Porter was allowed to work with interim security clearances. The FBI says Porter didn’t receive full security clearances because his background check was held up by accusations of verbal and physical abuse by his two ex-wives. The White House knew these allegations were holding up his background check, but it continued to allow him to serve in the administration until Porter was forced to resign when evidence of the abuse surfaced, including photos showing Porter’s first wife, Colbie Holderness, with a black eye.
