PORN STAR TO TELL STORY OF ALLEGED TRUMP AFFAIR.

-

President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared he is “totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind” as the White House sought to tamp down growing controvers­y surroundin­g former aide Rob Porter, who resigned last week after facing allegation­s that he had abused his two ex-wives.

In a brief statement, Trump said: “I’m totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind. Everyone knows that. And it almost wouldn’t even have to be said. So, now you hear it, but you all know.”

Porter, who served as White House staff secretary, resigned a week ago but denies the accusation­s. Though some top White House aides, including Chief of Staff John Kelly, initially expressed support for Porter, pressure mounted on him to resign as more evidence was made public, including photos of Porter’s first wife with a black eye she said she suffered on their honeymoon.
