Jennifer Willoughby, the second ex-wife of former White House staff secretary Rob Porter, told NBC News Thursday that she had informed the FBI about his abusive behavior during the FBI background check interview. 

"During the FBI background interview for security clearance, I shared with the FBI all of the details that I shared in previous articles, including access to a protective order from June of 2010, and police calls that I had made to our home," she told NBC News' Kristen Welker.

Porter, 40, has been credited with working with White House chief of staff John Kelly to control the flow of information to the president.

Both of Porter's former wives have made allegations of physical and mental abuse during their marriages, NBC New reported.  

The Town of Stonington’s board of finance approved a $1.3 million upgrade to the police department’s radio system.

"We have put Band-Aids over Band-Aids on our current system," Stonington Police Captain Todd Olson said. 

The problems with the 18-year-old system are that it cuts out in certain parts of town, some repair parts are too tough to come by and police can’t talk directly to ambulance, fire and neighboring police departments. Currently, police need to go through dispatch to ask questions during an emergency, according to Olson.

"Components of that system are failing at an alarming rate," Olson said.

The Stonington Board of Finance approved the money to upgrade the system and tie it into the state’s radio system so officers can talk to state police and state agencies.

"If our police department cannot receive a report and dispatch an officer, then we can’t provide public safety to our citizens. Communication is vital to public safety," First Selectman Rob Simmons said.

Tapping into the state’s current system is much cheaper than having the town build its own, Simmons said.

Stonington will add an antennae to its current radio tower, Olson said.

This type of connection to the state’s system is a first, according to Scott DeVico, a spokesperson for the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. He said it will benefit first responders, including Connecticut State Police, since they’ll be able to communicate directly with each other when needed.

The system is used by many state, municipal and federal agencies, DeVico said, adding this will greatly increase Stonington police’s coverage compared to a town-only system.

"This is what you do when money is tight. This is what you do when the Governor is cutting back. You collaborate," Simmons said.

Olson said the town set aside $725,000 of taxpayer money from the capital improvement budgets over the last two years. The board of finance just approved another $235,000 out of the town’s undesignated fund surplus. The remaining $370,000 will be put in the 2018-2019 capital improvement budget.

Stonington will keep its current system as a backup. The new system could be in place by September, Olson said. 

A grant program that provides millions of dollars annually to help needy residents fix up their homes is now under audit by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The NBC Connecticut Troubleshooters first reported on the state’s Small Cities program last summer after receiving a slew of complaints from homeowners in Seymour, who said they received substandard contracting work paid for through the program.

These homeowners turned to the NBC Connecticut Troubleshooters after months of complaining to town officials and the state department of housing and the team's investigation raised questions about loans used to make the repairs. After NBC Connecticut contacted the Department of Housing, they reached out to the homeowners with resolutions. 

On Thursday, the NBC Connecticut Troubleshooters learned the HUD Office of Inspector General is auditing the Small Cities program to see whether it is being administered according to their rules. This comes after a 2016 audit into a related program, also overseen by the Connecticut Department of Housing, questioned the spending of more than $2 million of federal taxpayer money.

In a statement, a Department of Housing spokesperson called this a routine audit and said the program has not been reviewed in 15 years. He added they have no reason to believe this review is based on any specific problems. A spokesperson for HUD said the audit report should be completed by September.

The Small Cities program is one of several Community Development Block Grant programs administered by the state Department of Housing with funding from HUD. In 2017, $11.5 million was awarded to 20 municipalities in the state. Those municipalities then offer the funds to eligible homeowners in the form of low-interest loans.

MassMutual, as part of a corporate restructuring, is closing offices across the country, including Connecticut, and moving 1,500 employees from the Nutmeg State to the Commonwealth.

"Following a thorough strategic assessment of our operations and footprint, we concluded that our home state of Massachusetts is the best place for us to grow and thrive over the long term," Roger Crandall, the company's president and CEO, said. 

Enfield has been the home of the 1,500 workers, on a campus that includes a multi-level parking deck.

The news came as a surprise to local leaders in Enfield, especially because the company had made recent investments in the Enfield campus.

Bryan Chodkowski, Enfield's town manager, said MassMutual tops the town's grand list of taxpayers with more than $48 million in assessed property. The company owns its facility that it will vacate.

"The fact that MassMutual still owns the property, they will still be responsible for it within their total portfolio and that includes paying the real estate taxes to the town of Enfield," Chodkowski said.

MassMutual cited a list of reasons why the company wants to move its employees to Springfield and open a new facility in Boston, saying in a statement that Boston features, "a highly skilled workforce, including a rich pipeline of talent from the state’s best-in-class network of higher education institutions; robust local economies; convenient access to transportation, and a diversity of communities, including the best of both metropolitan and suburban locations."

The decision to move employees out of Connecticut was linked to an overall corporate restructuring, as the company announced it would consolidate other operations in New Jersey, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Massachusetts is also providing the company with up to $46 million in incentives.

State Senator John Kissel, who represents Enfield in the Connecticut General Assembly, released a statement showing his disappointment with MassMutual's decision, calling the move "perplexing."

Kissel also held out hope, saying, "There may be a window of opportunity to preserve some Connecticut jobs, since the closure of the Enfield offices will not take place until 2021."

Gov. Dannel Malloy's communications director, Kelly Donnelly, told NBC Connecticut, "We obviously prefer to be on the receiving end of company relocations, and we work hard every day to retain and grow the footprints of companies already here in Connecticut."

"Today, we announced that ASML in Wilton plans to add over 500 jobs in the coming years. Our administration remains squarely focused on making the state continues to grow jobs and to become ever more competitive," Donnelly said. 

Former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz announced on Thursday that she is pursuing a run for governor, opening an exploratory committee for the office.

Bysiewicz previously had been looking to run against Republican Senator Len. Suzio in her home state senate district, but later said through her interactions with constituents that there was a desire for her to run for the state's highest office.

"That's what knocking on over ten thousand doors told me," Bysewiecz said during an interview.

The Middletown native attended Yale University for her undergraduate degree and received her law degree from Duke University where she also met her husband.

She served as Secretary of the State from 2003 to 2011 and she remarks how that timeframe puts her in a favorable position compared to other Democrats running for office.

"I haven’t served a day with Governor Malloy," she said.

Bysiewicz is not a stranger to statewide runs, with her most recent attempt coming in 2012 when she lost a primary battle for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, eventually won by Chris Murphy.

In 2010, Bysewiecz initially planned to run for governor, but later changed her plans to run for attorney general. She was denied ballot access after the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that she was ineligible to hold the office because she had not been a practicing attorney for ten years.

Since that roadblock, she has worked in private practice "on behalf of small businesses, creating thousands of jobs," she said.

That background she argues makes her the best choice on the Democratic side when it comes to jumpstarting Connecticut's sluggish economy.

"I prefer using precious state resources to help smaller companies become the next fortune 500 company," Bysiewicz said.

While she has some distance from Malloy, who recently saw an approval rating below that of President Donald Trump in Connecticut, she does side with him on some issues he has pushed for in just the past two days.

She wants to see a higher minimum wage, increased paid sick and family leave benefits, and pay equity among men and women.

To that end, she wants the state to end employers' practice of asking prospective employees how much they made at their previous job.

"By getting rid of that question, you get rid of institutionalizing discrimination against women who still only make 78 or 79 cents of every dollar that men make," Bysiewicz said.

Bysiewicz is pursuing public financing, and she has already collected more than $147,000 in qualifying contributions toward the goal of $250,000 in contributions of less than $100.

"We're going to get there very soon," she said.

Friday morning will start out sunny but NBC Connecticut meterologists say the clouds will come in afternoon, possibly bringing snow showers. 

Parts of the state could see a few snow flakes in the late afternoon and early evening on Friday which could cause a messy commute. 

After the possibly of a coating in some towns, temperatures will come up on Friday night.

Temperatures will climb through the 40s by Saturday afternoon with a couple of scattered showers.

Heavier rain comes in on Saturday night going into Sunday.

Vice President Mike Pence vowed that the U.S. is ready to protect itself from North Korean nuclear threats with whatever "action is necessary to defend our homeland."

Speaking with NBC’s Lester Holt on the sidelines of the 23rd Olympic Winter Games in South Korea, Pence made clear that the U.S. was not ruling out military options as tensions continued to roil the Korean Peninsula.

"We're going to continue to put all the pressure to bear economically and diplomatically, while preserving all of our military options to see that that happens,” Pence said in a segment that aired Friday morning on "Today."

“But we're gonna make it crystal clear that our military, the Japanese self-defense forces, our allies here in South Korea, all of our allies across the region, are, are fully prepared to defend our nations and to take what is — action is necessary to defend our homeland,” Pence said.

The Dow Jones industrial average rebounded more than 300 points Friday, paring deep losses for investors in what still amounted to the worst week in two years.

The Dow and the S&P 500 both lost 5.2 percent on the week, while the Nasdaq shed 5.1 percent as rising interest rates spooked investors. The Dow average experienced two drops of more than 1,000 points and two gains of more than 300 points during this volatile week. At their lows this week, all three major indexes were in correction territory from the record highs reached in January.

The Dow dropped 1,032 points Thursday and the aveage posted its worst point drop in history on Monday, closing 1,175 points lower. Monday's decline of 4.62 percent was also its worst daily percentage drop since Aug. 10, 2011, when it also fell 4.62 percent.

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine is demanding the release of a secret memo outlining President Trump’s interpretation of his legal authority to wage war, NBC News reported.

Kaine sent a letter Thursday night to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson seeking a 7-page memo the administration has kept under wraps for months.

Kaine has been leading the charge for Trump to outline his legal rationale for a U.S. bombing campaign in Syria last April in response President Bashar al-Assad’s chemical attacks on civilians in that country. The Virginia senator and others worry that such action compromises congressional oversight over military action.

There is a new urgency to obtain the memo given increasing U.S. involvement in Syria and recent Trump administration rhetoric on North Korea. Shortly after the 2017 bombing raid, several members of Congress called on Trump to justify it under U.S. and international law. Article I of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war.

One of the few postal facilities in New Haven might soon be closing. 

The United States Postal Service has circulated a notice to post office box users that the Federal Station facility on Chapel Street in downtown New Haven is being considered for closure, due in part to a lack of use. 

That notice said in part, “… office workload has declined, due in part to vacant post office boxes, as well as the continuous decline in mail volume.” 

The notice also said maintenance of the facility is “not cost-effective.” 

The closure would leave the downtown area with only one official postal facility, which is getting pushback from New Haven Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro who said shutting this facility would “remove New Haven residents and businesses from USPS services.” 

There is a full-service postal facility in a Yale University building about half a mile from the Chapel Street location. That facility is one of two locations where USPS is directing customers who would be impacted by the potential closure in addition to the main New Haven post office on Brewery Street outside downtown. 

NBC Connecticut contacted the U.S. Postal Service for comment and we have not received a response. 

It’s unclear how many jobs would be impacted or what would happen to any impacted workers if the proposed closure happens. There is no timeline for a decision. 

The Postal Service held a meeting about the issue on Wednesday, Feb. 7.

President Donald Trump on Friday defended former aide Rob Porter, wishing him well in his future endeavors without any mention of the two ex-wives who have accused Porter of physical and emotional abuse.

Trump's comments set off a firestorm at a time of national conversation about the mistreatment of women. And they came amid rampant White House finger-pointing about who knew what, and when, about the severity of the spousal abuse allegations.

Trump said Porter, who resigned when the abuse allegations became public this week, had "worked hard" at the White House and wished him well.

"It's a, obviously, tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the White House. And we hope he has a wonderful career," Trump said in his first comments on the allegations against the onetime rising West Wing star.

"He said very strongly yesterday that he's innocent," Trump added.

He gave no nod to the treatment of the women whose reports of abuse led to Porter's resignation, but which he vehemently denies.

Trump's comments drew immediate condemnation from women's groups and Democrats.

They came amid swirling questions about how White House chief of staff John Kelly had handled the matter and whether he could maintain his job despite Trump's growing frustration. They also raised questions about how seriously the president takes allegations of domestic abuse.

Also Friday, a second White House staffer, speechwriter David Sorensen, resigned as a result of abuse allegations.

Spokesman Raj Shah said the White House learned Thursday night about the allegations before being contacted by the media. "We immediately confronted the staffer, he denied the allegations and he resigned today," said Shah. Sorensen worked for the Council on Environmental Quality, which is part of the Executive Office of the President.

The Washington Post first reported the allegations against Sorensen and his resignation.

Sorensen told The Associated Press Friday night: "I didn't want the White House to have to deal with this distraction. It should be able to focus on continuing President Trump's historic accomplishments for the American people."

Kelly, meanwhile, tried to push his own timeline concerning Porter in brief comments to The Associated Press and several other news outlets, repeating a narrative he had presented Friday at a senior staff meeting that contradicts accounts provided by multiple White House officials.

Kelly said he found out only Tuesday night that the accusations against Porter "were true."

"Forty minutes later he was gone," Kelly said.

The chief of staff added that the decision was made before photos of one of Porter's ex-wives with a black eye were published.

Other White House officials have said it was the release of the photos Wednesday morning that sealed Porter's fate. The staff secretary resigned later Wednesday.

Kelly told reporters the only other indication he had that something could be wrong came in November, when he got an update on pending background investigations and learned "there was some things that needed to be looked into. And literally that was it."

The chief of staff's handling of the matter has drawn the ire of Trump, according to two people who speak to the president regularly but are not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations.

Trump has complained that Kelly did not bring the Porter allegations to him sooner, adding to his frustrations about the chief of staff's attempts to control him and Kelly's recent inflammatory comments about immigrants.

Trump has begun floating possible names for a future chief of staff in conversations with outside advisers, according to three people with knowledge of the conversations. Among the names being considered: Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Mark Meadows and CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

But there was no sign that a move was imminent, according to the people with knowledge of the conversations. Trump is known to frequently poll his advisers about the performance of senior staff and is often reluctant to actually fire aides.

A White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss personnel matters publicly, said Friday that Kelly had not offered to resign.

The official said White House counsel Don McGahn was apprised of at least some of the accusations about Porter at least four times, including as early as January 2017. In November, the official said, one of Porter's ex-girlfriends called McGahn to describe allegations of domestic abuse by the aide.

The official said staffers felt misled by how Porter played down the allegations, both to Kelly and McGahn. And the official stressed that the FBI had at no point revoked Porter's interim security clearance.

The president's glowing praise of a staff member accused of serial violence against women was similar to Trump's own denials of sexual impropriety in the face of accusations from more than a dozen women.

Routinely, Trump has accepted claims of innocence from men facing similar allegations, including Fox News head Roger Ailes, anchor Bill O'Reilly and former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who was accused of inappropriate contact with teenage girls.

Trump's comments Friday were a sharp contrast to those of Vice President Mike Pence, who told NBC's Lester Holt "there's no tolerance in this White House and no place in America for domestic abuse."

Pence said in an interview in South Korea that he was "appalled" by the allegations and that he would look into the matter when he got back to Washington.

Meanwhile, a number of Democrats denounced Trump's comments about Porter and his lack of empathy for the women who alleged abuse.

"That's like saying that axe murderer out there, he's a great painter," said former Vice President Joe Biden. "Is there any other crime — and it's a crime —where there would be an explanation that the reason why we shouldn't pay attention to the transgression is because they're good at something?"

National Women's Law Center General Counsel Emily Martin said Trump's reaction to the allegations against Porter speaks to the willingness of many to believe the accused rather than the accusers.

"What that clearly says to me is that the president is one of those people who either automatically disbelieves women and believes men, or arguably even worse, believes the woman who makes the allegations but thinks that should not be a barrier to her abuser's success," said Martin.

Associated Press writer Juliet Linderman contributed to this report.

Michigan State University is taking steps to fire doctor Larry Nassar's former boss on Friday in the latest fallout from the sex-abuse scandal roiling the campus and the gymnastics world, NBC News reported.

William Strampel was the dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine at MSU, where Nassar had his sports medicine practice until he was publicly accused of molesting patients in the fall of 2016. Strampel infamously told Nassar he was on his side as the first allegations bubbled up.

Strampel stepped down from his managerial role last month, citing illness, but now MSU is moving to revoke his tenure so it can terminate him, the university said in a statement.

"William Strampel did not act with the level of professionalism we expect from individuals who hold senior leadership positions, particularly in a position that involves student and patient safety," interim MSU President John Engler said. "We are sending an unmistakable message today that we will remove employees who do not treat students, faculty, staff, or anyone else in our community in an appropriate manner."

The 50th annual Special Olympics Connecticut Winter Games are just two weeks away. In preparation for the events, Eversource volunteers are making snow at their facility in Windsor. 

To make snow successfully, volunteers need eight consecutive hours when temperatures stay below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In one eight-hour stretch they can use about 150,000 gallons of water. 

“We keep them in big piles. We actually make more ice crystals then we do actual snow just so it can survive the test of time because I have only two months to make the snow and Mother Nature in New England doesn’t help too much. She’s fickle,” said Andy Ouellette, the program administrator of safety for Eversource. 

Eversource relies on a team of volunteers to make the snow. One of those volunteers, who started lending a hand in 1990, is Paul Robotham. 

“It’s been great. We have a super bunch of volunteers that come out every year,” said Robotham. 

He said what keeps him coming back year after year is the athletes. 

“Seeing the athletes compete and having a great time doing it, that is what it’s all about,” Robotham said. 

“This is a little bit of work. Seeing what happens on that weekend is magical,” said Ouellette. 

At the Windsor location, athletes will do cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The Special Olympics are February 24 and 25.

A Russian woman who was visiting the United States on business was killed in a crash with a garbage truck in Windsor Wednesday afternoon, according to police.

Pavel Kovalchuk, 33, of Moscow, was driving and 41-year-old Tatiana Vedentsova, also of Moscow, was a passenger in a car that collided head-on with a garbage truck on Bloomfield Avenue, or Route 305, at 1:25 p.m., according to police.

Kovalchuk sustained serious injuries and was transported to Hartford Hospital. Vedentsova sustained serious injuries and was transported to Hartford Hospital, where she later died, according to police.

Police said Kovalchuk and Vedentsova were visiting the United States on business.

The 36-year-old driver of the Windsor Sanitation garbage truck sustained a minor injury and was taken to St. Francis Hospital.

Wednesday was a stormy day across Connecticut, with a mix of snow, freezing rain and regular rain.

The North Central Municipal Accident Reconstruction Team is investigating.

Windsor police ask anyone with information about the crash to call the department at 860-688-5273 Ext. 546.

An officer who shot at a man in a Foxwoods Casino parking lot before he fell four levels in 2016 was justified, the state's attorney said on Friday. 

The release from the state's attorney said the force Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Police Sergeant Kevin Leach used on the man "cannot be found to have been the proximate cause of the death."

The shooting happened in September 2016 when the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal police were told that a man with an arrest warrant, Michael Goodale, was staying at Foxwoods Casino.

The 23-year-old from Groton had a warrant for violation of probation, police said.

Police found Goodale on the fourth floor of the Foxwoods parking garage and when Leach tried to take him into custody, the suspect took out a handgun. Goodale refused to drop the weapon when asked, according to police. 

Goodale stood on top of the cement wall in the parking garage and pointed the gun in Leach's direction. The sergeant shot at Goodale before he fell off the fourth floor of the parking garage, police said. 

A gunshot wound was found on Goodale's left foot but his death was caused by the height of the fall, an autopsy report by Dr. Gregory Vincent at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner revealed. 

Leach's use of deadly force was justified because Goodale continually pointed the handgun at officers and didn't drop the weapon after being asked to several times, according to New London State's Attorney Michael Regan.

After looking at the autopsy, it shows Leach's physical force wasn't the main cause of his death because he died from the 81-foot drop to the ground, according to Regan.

According to the state's attorney, no further action will be taken for this incident.

The Olympic cauldron is lit, the opening ceremony is over and it's time for the athletes in Pyeongchang to officially go for gold.

While competition has been underway for a few days, Saturday brings the first medal events at the 2018 Winter Games: three in ski events and two in speedskating.

The first medals of the games will be awarded in the women's skiathlon, a 15km cross-country race that's skied half in classical technique, half in freestyle. Norwegian Marit Bjoergen is the woman to beat, having amassed 10 medals — six of them gold — over four Olympic games.

Jessie Diggins could be the United States' best chance to nab a medal in the event, which airs at 2:15 a.m. ET on Saturday in the U.S. It would be Team USA's first-ever women's Olympic medal in cross-country skiing.

The next medal event on the schedule is the women's 3,000-meter speedskating race at 6 a.m. ET. Canadian Ivanie leads the World Cup standings after five events this year, but Dutch skaters Ireen Wuest and Antoinette de Jong may be likeliest to top the podium. Carlijn Schoutens is the only American racing.

After that comes the women's biathlon 7.5km sprint at 6:15 a.m. ET, where Slovakian skier has the chance to win a third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the race that combines skiing and rifle shooting.

The final two medal events of the day both air around 7:30 a.m. ET, and one will have the host nation rocking.

That's in short track speedskating, the whirlwind race that South Korea loves. There will be three rounds of racing in the men's 1,500-meter races Saturday, with the medal race beginning at 7:28 a.m. ET. (Women will take the ice, too — notably Team USA's Maame Biney and Lana Gehring — but their first medals are awarded Tuesday.)

The races can be unpredictable, but three South Koreans are thought to be the top contenders for gold in the 1,500: Hwang Dae-heon, Seo Yi-ra and Lim Hyo-jun. But Americans J.R. Celski, who won bronze in the event in 2010, and John-Henry-Krueger, both have a shot at the podium.

Finally, the men's individual normal hill ski jumping competition will conclude after the event kicks off at 7:35 a.m. ET. German Andreas Wellinger led the pack after qualifying and defending gold medalist Kamil Stoch, of Poland, is right behind him. The highest-ranking American is Kevin Bickner, who came out of the qualifying round in 25th place.
