This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Domestic abuse allegations against a Top White House official are causing a new shakeup at the white house this morning. Staff secretary rob porter, gatekeeper to the oval office, is on his way out, after his two exwives claim that he abused them. One of them says he punched her in the face. Rob porter calls the charges false and outrageous. He could leave as early as today. Julianna goldman is at the white house. Julianna, good morning. Good morning. The role of staff secretary is one of the most important jobs inside the white house. Overseeing every piece of paper that lands on the president s desk from articles to classified briefing materials. He is going to be leaving the white house. White House Press SecretarySarah Sanders said president aide rob porter personally decided to resign. Porters first wife shared photos with the intercept website showing what her face looked like after he allegedly punched her while on vacation. In a statement, porter said these outrageous allegations are simply false. But admitted he had taken the photos. His second wife, jennifer willowby, detailed the abuse with the Washington Post. Within a matter of a couple of weeks after being married, i was aware of his temper. He came and grabbed me by the shoulders here and pulled me out of the shower in a rage. Initially, the administration came to porters defense. Sanders described him as having exemplary character. Chief of staff john kelly said porter was a man of integrity. But kelly later amended his statement to say he was shocked by the new allegations. Willoughby told fbi investigators in january of 2017 about what she says was his abusive past. The fbi shared those allegations with the white house ten months later. I told them all of the details of my marriage including verbal and emotional abuse. They were also made aware of the protective order that i signed. Reporter sources tell cbs news porters full security clearance was then delayed. Its not clear if he ever received full clearance. As staff secretary, porter would vet every single document before it got to the president s desk. Including classified material. I would be surprised if you could do it without full security clearance. Reporter Catherine Dunn temest studies this for the bookings institution. The secretary is what makes the wheels turn every single day. Reporter cbs news learned porter is dating White House Communications director hope hicks and she is one of the staffers who was involved in drafting those earlier statements defending porter. Julianna, the chief of staff says this is new information. It wasnt new information. So how did the white house first handle it . Did they investigate it or did they try and find some workaround so he could keep his job . Well, thats right. The white house learned about these allegations back in november and actually in December Porter was considering leaving but he didnt. And, in fact, his role was actually expanded. He became involved in more policy decisions. Even helping draft the state of the union speech. And this was all done with the full support of the white house chief of staff. Okay, julianna, thanks. This raises a number of ethical questions. It does. It really does. Because as julianna pointed out this is an important staff position. Im known about how important it is for years as a White House Reporter as you have. There are ethical questions about why no one in the white house did this. The reason fbi doesnt give people like this a clearance is because youre open to blackmail. Thats the issue. Thats why the fbi vets everybody who has access to top secret security stuff. His job is to help the white house get in ship shape, you know, a little bit of an improvisational white house. So did they handle these issues in the ship shape way youre supposed to handle these kinds of issues or were they just trying to find a way to keep him on the job and minimize these allegations. And finally this is now the second top aide to the president of the United States who has been accused of abuse towards women and there must be zero tolerance when that happens. Well, its disturbing to hear they knew about it and he is still on the job as we said and talk about this today. Theres going to be definitely more on this story. Also some news this morning out of north korea because north korea is greeting the start of the south koreas Winter Olympics by showing off its military might. Soldiers paraded with tanks, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and other weapons in north Koreas Capital pyongyang. This morning, in front of dictator kim jongun. A few hours later, Vice President mike pence arrived in seoul to meet with south korean president moon. He repeated calls for north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. Ben tracy is at the games in pyeongchang with the message behind north koreas display. Ben, good morning. Reporter good morning. So north korea has really dominated the runup to these games, first by just deciding to come to the olympics, then by sending a 550 person delegation, and now by staging this massive military parade on the eve of the opening ceremony. North korea put on a major show of force for the 70th anniversary of the founding of its army. Tens of thousands of soldiers marched in the square. T also proudly paraded many of its weapons of war. Including two different versions of its Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles believed to be capable of striking the United States. Kim jongun and his generals looked on from above. Its way to show it is relevant, it can control the narrative in the region. Reporter shea cotton is an expert on north koreas weapons program. He says if kim jongun was trying to look more rational by engaging with south korea over the olympics, this was an odd way to show it. I think if north korea wanted to be reasonable with Something Like this, they wouldnt be holding a parade the day before the olympics anyways. Reporter during Vice President mike pences visit to japan, he told hundreds of u. S. Military personnel at the air base that military action against north korea is possible. Those who dare threaten us will do well not to underestimate the capabilities of the armed forces of the United States. Reporter north korea was officially welcomed t plik athletes village today. And south korean president moon jaein plans to host members of the norths delegation, including the sister of kim jongun, for lunch this weekend. Meanwhile, american luge athlete aaron hamlin, who was named team usas flag bearer, is excited about the north korean athletes who are participating in the games. Thats what its all about, is bringing peel together in a peaceful environment to celebrate sport and something we all love to do. Reporter for the most part, the athletes dont seem to be focused on all the politics that are surrounding these olympic games. An olympic competition has now officially begun. Today, the american curling duo of matt and becka hamilton, they are brother and sister, they trounced the russians 93 in their opening match. So while the politics may continue here in pyeongchang, let the games begin. John. Ben tracy in south korea. Crushing the ruskys, thats always a good thing. Feels like were back in the 80s. Usa, usa, let it begin. The pentagon says u. S. Air strikes that killed about 100 militants loyal to syrian president bar shar al assad were selfdefense. The strikes took place yesterday in eastern syria. The u. S. Military says they came after proassad militants launched an unprovoked attack on u. S. Backed syrian forces. Cbs news has learned american advisers were present during the attack but none were hurt. The senate is expected to okay a longsought budget deal today to avoid a second Government Shutdown in less than a month but the house may not go along. The twoyear bipartisan measure keeps the government running for six more weeks. It also provides an extra 165 billion in defense spending and 131 billion for domestic programs over the next two years. Many democrats are unhappy that immigration is not part of the deal. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke for a record breaking eight hours yesterday, pushing for a vote to protect dreamers. Republican House Speaker paul ryan says hes only bring an immigration bill to a vote if he knows the president will sign it. And she was wearing high heels the whole time. Thats impressive. New Research Shows the deadly flu virus spreads more easily than previously thought. At least 240 schools nationwide are closed today to try to stop the virus from spreading. At one wisconsin school, 30 of the students were absent this week because of the epidemic. Nationwide, more than 4,500 deaths have now been linked to the flu this season. Our dr. Tara narula spoke to a researcher who says the flu can be spread just by breathing. We all have to breathe so thats scary. Researchers at the university of maryland have created a one of a kind device that collects virus samples from your breath. Using that data, they then track how the flu is transmitted from person to person. All you do is sit, breathe and let the machine do the work. It just is pulling all of the air from around your face at a fast enough rate that we collect everything but not so fast it feels like theres a breeze. Reporter its called the ga sund hite 2 and is the brainchild of this doctor. The device is being used to collect and analyze the flu virus in an exhaled breath. With those virus sample, researchers are trying to track down how the flu spreads. The focus has always been on telling people, well, coughing and sneezing is how its transmitted. Reporter in 2014, mit used highspeed imaging to study how far cough and sneeze droplets and therefore germs can spread. But in a cdc study earlier this year, researchers discovered that the flu virus can be transmitted simply by breathing. If we understand better how much of the infection is transmitted by air, and what the dose in the air is, we can then figure out how to reduce your exposure. Reporter theyre using student volunteers to study the mechanics of how the bug spreads. By swabbing people who come in contact with infected students. If i can show that you got the flu from him, and it didnt come from his nose but it came from his lung, then you got it by the airborne route. We got the answer. Reporter theyre hoping to use these findings to create models for better ventilation systems that would make it harder for the flu and other dangerous viruses to spread. For now, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, sneeze into your elbow and please stay home if youre sick. Thanks, tara. Former u. S.

Were at the top of the range. We really need to know who enables it. And thats only going to happen from an independent investigation. So larry going away was just kind of like the first chapter in the book, and the healing has started, but you can tell that theres something still hanging out there, that hasnt been answered yet.
