Porter's ex-wife "floored" by Trump's response to assault allegations

Jennifer Willoughby, an ex-wife of former White House staff secretary Rob Porter, said in a TIME op-ed that she was shocked when President Trump wished Porter well.

"Donald Trump repeated twice that Rob declared his innocence, I was floored."

More from Willoughby:

"If the most powerful people in the nation do not believe my story of abuse in the face of overwhelming evidence, then what hope do others have of being heard?"
"My friend turned to me and said, 'The President of the United States just called you a liar.' Yes. And so he did."
"Ultimately, this is not a political issue. This is a societal issue, and the tone has just been reset by the White House."
