President Trump Says He’s “Totally Opposed” to Domestic Violence

HeadlineFeb 15, 2018

President Trump said Wednesday he is “totally opposed” to domestic violence, ending days of silence over the case of former White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter, who resigned last week after evidence surfaced that he had abused his two ex-wives.

President Donald Trump: “I am totally opposed to domestic violence. And everybody here knows that. I am totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind. Everyone knows that, and it almost wouldn’t even have to be said. So, now you hear it, but you all know it.”
