despite an honestly sourced reports that it long knew about the porter allegations the white house has been insisting over and over it did not learn the full extent of the allegations against porter till they were published in the press last week. but today the fbi director, christopher wray, came before congress and blew that timeline out of the water revealing in a hearing that agents updated the white house about porter's background check multiple times over the last year. >> was the white house informed that this could affect his security clearance? that's a yes or no. >> what i can tell you is that the fbi submied a partial report on the investigation in question in march. and then a completed background investigation in late july that soon thereafter, we received requests for follow-up inquiry.
