Nashville, tennessee, where the president will speak in just a couple of hours to a farmers group, take it away, kevin. Listen, harris. Very interesting to read what steve bannon has to say and yet there has still been no official response from the white house although i think its fair to say, there may have been less of an apology than a clarification of what he had to say. Let me share a part of that statement. As you just said, i want to bring the people at home on board on this so they can see what he was talking about.

The most serious among them that on a vacation in italy, back in the early 2,000s, he allegedly, according to his first wife, punched her in the eye, giving her a black eye. The fbi yesterday came forward in the form of Christopher Wray at a hearing on the Senate Intelligence committee to challenge the white houses time line of events which then forced the white house yesterday to adjust its time line again. Lets listen to what Sarah Huckabee s
Hopefully instead a measure of healing. Jenny willoughby was married to rob porter from 2009 to 2013 during which time she says she endured emotional and verbal abuse, a frightening physical confrontation, even filed a temporary order of protection. Porters first wife, colby holderness, also divorced him after years. She says consistent abuse, including incidents of physical violence, choking, a punch with a black eye. Rob porter denying the allegations calling them outrageous, false. He says the reality behind the pictures is nowhere close to whats being described and says ive been transparent and truthful about these vile claims. That said, i want to play you what jenny said, but first pam brown at the white house, pam . Reporter i can tell you here at the white house, morale is low. Particularly about the handling of the rob porter situation with the white house so fiercely coming to his defense in the wake of these Domestic Abuse allegations. In fact, you heard today a rare admissi
