Rob Porter’s Ex-Wife: ‘If He Hasn’t Already Been Abusive’ with Hope Hicks, ‘He Will’ (Mediaite)
This evening, CNN’s Anderson Cooper sat down with Jennie Willoughby, one of the ex-wives who accused ex-White House staffer Rob Porter of physically abusing them. During their interview, Willoughby expressed concern for the woman Porter is currently dating, White House communications director Hope Hicks.
Regarding questions about the shifting statements from the White House amid the reports of Porter’s history of abusive behavior, Willoughby stated that she genuinely felt White House Chief of Staff John Kelly believed the abuse was less than he believed until he saw published photographs. She noted that Porter likely minimized and spun it away when he couldn’t get a security clearance.
