In his written letter of resignation, he stated that the accusations against him were “outrageous” and “false”, but he decided to leave the presidential administration amid a growing scandal, writes NBC.

Porter said that the photos, allegedly confirming the facts of domestic violence, published by his ex-wives, were taken almost 15 years ago and do not display a complete picture of the situations that occurred then.

“These outrageous allegations are false. I took the images provided to the media almost 15 years ago, and the reality behind them is not even close to how it is presented,” Porter said in a written statement.

Porter came to the Trump administration in January 2017, he said he was grateful for the opportunity to work in the White House and would try to ensure a smooth transition of his duties to the receiver.

Porter’s former wives claim that he insulted them and used physical violence against them.

40-year-old Porter was assigned to work with Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, to control the flow of information to the president. Porter was often seen with Trump when the president traveled and signed laws or orders. Kelly mentioned Porter in statements as “a man of true honesty and honor.”

The staff secretary was loved by many in the White House, but most of them turned away from him when allegations of domestic violence appeared.

Porter's first wife, Colby Holdernes, said he choked and beat her for five years while their marriage lasted. The woman added her own story with photographs in which she had a bruise under her eye, according to her, this was the result of a beating by her ex-husband during their vacation in Italy.

The official’s second spouse, Jennifer Willoughby, described how Porter once pulled her naked and wet from the shower and broke into curses. She filed a lawsuit against him, demanding to forbid a man to approach her.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Hakabi Sanders said she did not discuss the charges against Porter with President Donald Trump. She added that the resignation of the official was not the result of pressure on him.

“Rob Porter has been effective as staff secretary. The President and Chief of Staff have full confidence in his abilities and success in his job,” Sanders said.

Porter is a Harvard Law School graduate who served for nearly three years as chief of staff to Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, as well as several other GOP senators, before joining the White House.
