Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!FBI Chief Disputes White House Claims On When It Heard Of Rob Porter Allegations
Christopher Wray said the FBI turned in a partial report about the domestic abuse accusations nearly a year ago.
WASHINGTON ― The White House’s attempts to explain why it allowed a top aide accused of domestic violence by both of his ex-wives to keep his job took another hit on Tuesday, this time from FBI Director Christopher Wray.
President Donald Trump’s other top aides have been claiming that they did not know about the domestic violence allegations against former staff secretary Rob Porter until recently and that they did not appreciate the full extent of the accusations until photographs of one woman’s injuries were published by news outlets.
But Wray, who was named to that job by Trump, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the FBI had given the White House a preliminary report on Porter nearly a year ago.
“I can’t get into the content of what was briefed,” he said in response to a question from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). “What I can tell you is that the FBI submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in March and then a completed background investigation in late July.”
Wray added that the FBI “soon thereafter” received a request for a follow-up from the White House, which it completed and returned in November.
The FBI closed out its investigation in January, but then received “additional information” in early February, which it passed along as well, Wray said.
White House officials did not respond to multiple requests for comment about Wray’s testimony, which contradicts timelines offered by the White House press office over the past week.

Thank you, Director Wray. I applaud your honesty. We already knew the White House was lying about Porter - and you have officially confirmed it.
Well Squanto, if we switch parties, you switch sides on this. You didn't give a shit about corruption in the Obama administration
You voted for a woman who attacked sexual assault victims of her husband, then called herself a feminist. Your integrity on this is as genuine as your fake Indian blood, Pretendian
Do you teach your kids that if someone else does something, it's okay for them do to it too even though it's wrong? Because that is your only defense of Trump.
