Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, was not aware of the details surrounding media reports about White House staff secretary Rob Porter allegedly abused his ex-wives when he composed a statement defending Porter, according to a report.

Two different statements from Hatch emerged on Wednesday responding to the accusations against Porter as detailed in the Daily Mail, but Hatch had only been told that there was an attempt to undercut Porter concerning his marriages when he wrote the first statement, CNN reported.
