Christie: Kelly needs to say what he knew about Porter

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday that White House chief of staff John Kelly needs to give a public accounting of when he became aware of allegations of abuse about now former White House staff secretary Rob Porter.
"I think in the end, we've got to hear from John Kelly as to what he knew and we haven't heard that directly from him yet," Christie told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week."
"And I think the president needs to hear that before he can make an evaluation of competence."
Christie, who chaired President Donald Trump's opioid commission and has remained on the periphery of the administration, said at the end of day it comes down competence and whether Kelly can "competently run the place." According to news reports, Kelly and other senior staffers may have been told by the FBI that there were concerns about Porter's past, which included allegations from both of his ex-wives about abuse.
"Clearly there was a breakdown in process," Christie said.
