White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday said former West Wing staffer Rob Porter, who has been accused by both his ex-wives of domestic abuse, is the object of an “orchestrated smear campaign.”

Conway said Porter denies the “vile allegations” and “doesn’t want to engage in this orchestrated public smear campaign.”

Asked to explain why she thinks Porter is being smeared, she raised the idea of due process, which President Trump tweeted about Saturday.

“When the president is talking about due process, he’s right in this way: We are a country of laws, there is due process,” she said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “But we as individuals have a duty to assess everybody on a case-to-case basis.”

But she also said she has “no reason not to believe the women.”

“In this case, you have contemporaneous police reports, you have women speaking to the FBI under threat of perjury, you have police reports, you have photographs, and when you look at all of that pulled together, Rob Porter did the right thing by resigning,” she said.

In a tweet Saturday, Trump apparently addressed the Porter situation and the #MeToo movement by claiming that “peoples [sic] lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation.”

“There is no recovery for someone falsely accused – life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?,” he wrote on Saturday.

Porter — the White House staff secretary and a close aide to chief of staff John Kelly — resigned last Wednesday after his two ex-wives claimed he physically and emotionally abused them.

The claims were revealed Tuesday amid questions that the White House was aware of the accusations for months because Porter was unable to get a security clearance after an FBI background check uncovered a restraining order against him.

Conway said she and the White House were caught by surprise by the revelations against Porter.

“I was horrified and I was also very shocked. As many people have noted, this is not the Rob Porter we’ve worked with in the White House,” she said on CNN.

“Once you see the allegations as put forth … it was very clear that Rob resigned very swiftly and was out of the White House the very next day.”

But anchor Jake Tapper pressed her on why the White House and Trump first offered support for Porter when the allegations surfaced.

The result is that Porter resigned, she said.

“There were two different stories that came out — one on Tuesday night and one I believe Wednesday morning — the weight of those two stories together compelled Rob to do the right thing and resign,” she said.

Another White House staffer, David Sorensen, a speechwriter, resigned Friday after his ex-wife alleged domestic abuse against him.
