Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has reportedly sent apology letters to the ex-wives of former White House staff secretary Rob Porter, who resigned earlier this month over allegations of domestic abuse.
Hatch apologized to Jennie Willoughby and Colbie Holderness for initially defending Porter in response to reports that the women had accused Porter of physical and emotional abuse during their marriages, according to the Washington Post's Erik Wemple.
Hatch originally said that Porter, who is a former aide of his, is "kind and considerate towards all," and criticized the allegations as rumors being spread by political "character assassins."
The retiring senator also said of Porter that he would "prefer him not to resign."

seems the private rob is quite different from the public rob.
looks like hatch is trying to right a wrong.
