The White House has been engulfed in scandal in recent days after allegations emerged that a high-ranking staffer, Rob Porter, abused his two ex-wives.

Though Porter resigned on Wednesday, the controversy only escalated after news surfaced that Porter's security clearance had been delayed over the allegations, and that top White House staffers had been aware of them for at least months.

Colbie Holderness, Porter's first wife, accused him of punching her in the face and leaving a black eye.

His second wife, Jennifer Willoughby, said Porter frequently verbally abused her and once dragged her by her shoulders out of the shower. She also said he once came to her apartment in violation of their separation agreement and later punched in the glass door.
