President’s Personal Assistant Caught Leaking in Egregious Breach of Trust

Madeline Westerhaut, President Trump’s personal assistant, has stepped down abruptly after it was revealed she was leaking information. Westerhaut, who has been with the president since he came into office, stepped down earlier today, after President Trump learned she had shared information about his family and the goings on in the Oval Office with reporters at a dinner held in Bedminster, NJ recently. Westerhaut spoke to reporters under conditions of anonymity about personnel issues at the White House.

Westerhaut’s “power” came from being around the president, as she wasn’t well known.

Westerhaut, who worked formerly as a Republican National Committee aide and also for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, was reported to have been crying the night of the 2016 election over Trump’s victory. The information caused President Trump to eye her with suspicion as a late convert to the MAGA cause who shouldn’t be trusted.

Westerhaut Reporting on the President

Top officials in the Trump administration such as former Chief of Staff John Kelly had hoped to make her an ally in working to stem the flow of traffic to the Oval Office. The goal was to block certain individuals from reaching the president through phone calls or physical meetings, and to report on those who actually made it through.

Westerhaut’s “power” came from being around the president, as she wasn’t well known. She never spoke publicly, and was almost never photographed unless she was close to the president. Her claims to fame on Instagram were small, and included bits of her life in the West Wing, and one post claiming she printed off a page Trump held in his hand at an event, to which he referred while speaking.

Westerhaut will not be allowed back to the White House after today, as she is now considered a “separated employee.” From The New York Times via MSN: “The breach of trust meant immediate action: Ms. Westerhout, one of the people familiar with her departure said, was now considered a “separated employee” and would not be allowed to return to the White House on Friday.The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Ms. Westerhout did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.”
