FBI Director Chris Wray upended the White House's stated timeline of
information about disgraced aide Rob Porter, as he outlined when the
agency briefed officials on the matter.
The White House was repeatedly briefed on the FBI's background
investigation into the former White House staff secretary that uncovered
allegations of domestic abuse before those allegations became public,
Wray said.
"I can't get into the content of what was briefed to the White House ...
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. That soon thereafter, we received request
for follow-up inquiry and we did the follow-up and provided that
information in November and that we administratively closed the file in
January," Wray said during congressional testimony.
