Breitbart:
An alleged leaker from inside the West Wing whose desk sat right outside President Donald Trump’s Oval Office was reportedly ousted from her position on Thursday and told never to return to the White House.
Madeleine Westerhout, who had served as the president’s personal assistant since the first day of his administration, was according to the New York Times terminated from her position on Thursday after it was revealed that she allegedly leaked details about Oval Office operations and the first family to media in an off-record dinner in Bedminster, New Jersey, earlier this month.
The New York Times‘ Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman wrote on Thursday evening:
President Trump’s personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, whose office sits in front of the Oval Office and who has served as the president’s gatekeeper since Day 1 of his administration, resigned on Thursday, two people familiar with her exit said. Ms. Westerhout’s abrupt and unexpected departure came after Mr. Trump learned on Thursday that she had indiscreetly shared details about his family and the Oval Office operations she was part of during a recent off-the-record dinner with reporters staying at hotels near Bedminster, N.J., during the president’s working vacation, according to one of the people, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss White House personnel issues.
“The breach of trust meant immediate action: Ms. Westerhout, one of the people familiar with her departure said, was immediately considered a “separated employee” and would not be allowed to return to the White House on Friday,” Haberman and Karni added.
Leaks have plagued Trump’s administration since the beginning, with a combination of disloyal political officials and career government officials leaking damaging information against the president to the media in an effort to harm his presidency. Trump has fought back against the leaks repeatedly, and several officials from the White House and throughout government have been terminated after being exposed as leakers.
Westerhout was something of an anomaly in the Trump White House in that she had deep history with establishment Republicans before going to work for the president at the beginning of his administration. more here
“…she had deep history with establishment Republicans…”
Dang, Erick Erickson, you lost another source.
Watch for her to appear on Colbert, etc. for her 15 minutes, dishing dirt on the Trumps. Then she will be tossed aside like a used prophylatic.
No employer should ever place her in a position of trust after she has displayed her utter lack of discretion and loyalty.
Please tell me she doesn’t have a Security Clearance. Otherwise, she’s headed straight to CNN.
Former Romney employee. What could go wrong apparently DID.
She is “Hot”.
Here comes the Book! Put yer hip waders on.
Swamp?
What swamp?
Is it my imagination or does she look like a skinny Monica Lewinski?
You are all probably right: book deal, CNN gig, etc. Don’t these people have to sign a non-disclosure agreement before working at the WH?
Anonymous, a used rubber is also known as a scumbag. I first heard that description from G Gordon Liddy years ago.
Eventually, the story will come out, her indirect boss was James Comey..
“Stab me once, shame on me…I stab back, shame on you.”
I always wondered why he didn’t have mass firings on day one of his administration.
If you follow Bongino he went into deep detail about
revelations that the treasonous FBI was trying
hard to get agents and confidential human resources
into Trump’s campaign and the WH. Apparently they succeeded.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
She’ll probably get a job on MSNBC.
A bit narrow-sighted there.
She was very loyal to the establishment Rs/deep state. She’ll find work for the people she was loyal to.
Where did you get the idea that the enemy has some kind of strict integrity that would punish one of their own for doing exactly what the enemy wanted?
You sound just like all the never Trumpers and communists in the media that keep thinking us deplorables will abandon Trump for doing the very things we elected him for.
From DC fitness trainer to $130,000/yr for sitting outside the Oval Office; you’d think the b!tch could keep her mouth shut for her own good.
Maddie looks like the poor man’s Hope Hicks.
