Security Issue
The biggest issue that plagued the White House about Porter was the back ground check. It was clear that no check was done.
It was reported that the FBI sent a file containing information about his allegations from his ex-wives.
The women claimed abuse from Porter and it appeared that the information was overlooked or ignored.
The security office delayed its recommendation, so Porter was put on a temporary clearance basis.
The issue had now reached a point of no return. Based on reports both Chief of Staff John Kelly and White House Counsel Don McGahn knew of the claims.
The information was available to them since 2017 and apparently nothing was done. The situation was now a big issue for Trump and had its share of publicity on the media.
Situations like these certainly won’t help the White House who are under constant scrutiny. Hopefully they will eventually get it right.
