Having written "Vekasav lah ... Venasan be'Yadah, Veshilchah mi'Beiso" in Pasuk 1, why does the Torah repeat it here?

Why does the Torah mention finding a D'var Ervah regarding her first husband, but not regarding her second?

Kol Eliyahu and Divrei Eliyahu: The Gemara in Gitin, 90b learns from this that whereas by Zivug Rishon (the first marriage), one should divorce one's wife only if he found her guilty of adultery, by Zivug Sheni, he may divorce her even if she burned the food.
