One of President Donald Trump's top White House aides resigned Wednesday following allegations of domestic abuse levelled against him by his two ex-wives. Staff secretary Rob Porter said in a written statement that allegations that became public this week are "outrageous" and "simply false." Porter said he will leave the White House after a transition period. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she had not discussed the allegations against Porter with Trump. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served in the Trump Administration and will seek to ensure a smooth transition when I leave the White House."
