Rob Porter has resigned from his role as White House staff secretary after a series of revelations emerged about his role in domestic violence towards his ex-wives.
DailyMail is reporting, Colbie Holderness, 37, a senior analyst for the U.S. government and Porter’s first wife said Porter abused them on several occasions. “He would throw me down on the bed, put his full body weight on top of me, then grind a knee or elbow into my body, expressing rage,” one wife claimed claims.

The couple was married for five years.
The couple met in 2000 at their Mormon church while they were in college. ‘He was never physically abusive until our honeymoon and that floored me,’ Holderness told DailyMail. 
‘He would throw me down on the bed, put his full body weight on top of me, then grind a knee or elbow into my body, expressing rage,’ she claims. She says the violence escalated to where Porter was choking her. ‘It was not hard enough for me to pass out but it was scary, humiliating and dehumanizing’. On Tuesday night, Porter’s second ex-wife Jennifer Willoughby, also shared the story of her abusive marriage. She claims Porter dragged her out of the shower and was constantly verbally abusive.
Last week it was revealed that Porter and Hope Hicks are dating, and were seen kissing in a cab on the way back to her apartment.
