The President’s personal assistant, Madeline Westerhout, has resigned after being exposed leaking sensitive information to the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman.

Westerhout apparently revealed information related to the President’s family life and White House operations to the mainstream media journalist, while speaking at a supposedly ‘off-the-record’ event with a cabal of legacy media operatives. She resigned abruptly on Thursday, and reports indicate she won’t be allowed to return to the White House.

Sources indicate that MSNBC journo Philip Rucker played a part in exposing Westerhout as a legacy media leaker within the Trump administration.

Westerhout was one of the White House employees closest to the President, and her resignation/firing is yet another glaring example of troublesome staffing practices within the Trump administration.

The former RNC employee was apparently known for a dislike of Donald Trump to the point that reports suggest she even cried on the night of the 2016 election, seemingly distraught that Trump-the Republican nominee- won in a historic upset victory.

The President was said to be suspicious of her commitment to his groundbreaking pro-American political platform, but she found a way to lock down an influential and impactful position within the administration regardless. Establishment sympathizers such as former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly were said to use Westerhout in order to stifle the President’s populist agenda, relying on her to block White House access for Trump supporters who actually supported the President’s agenda.

Some of Trump’s loyalists within the administration were pleased to hear of Westerhout’s exit, long suspecting that she didn’t actually support the President who she was working for.

Now that Westerhout has departed, hopefully the President will look to bring in a real Trump supporter as his personal assistant, a White House position with wide-ranging and influential access to the Commander-in-Chief himself.
