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 at 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...
Ms. Westerhout, a former Republican National Committee aide who also worked for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, reportedly cried on election night because she was upset over Mr. Trump’s victory. As such, the president at first viewed her warily, as a late convert to his cause who could not be trusted.

Umm... BYE
Ruck Fomney.
The rest of you: *PING*.
WTF
Flush them all! The WH is probably still thoroughly infested...
“...viewed her warily, as a late convert to his cause who could not be trusted...”
Then why was she hired??
Unreal....no wonder the leaks were more than they should have been.
I guess it just takes time to “weed em out”.
Cross the boss at your loss...buyeeeeee.
Says the NY Times according to an anonymous source.
Consider the source. The underlying fact is one thing. The attendant details are another. I would never trust the NYT for a wholly truthful article of any kind. That said, there is a price to pay for hobnobbing with presstitutes. Glad she’s outta there.
Why would he hire such a person?
IMy heart hurts for Pres trump, so many people around him have not been trustworthy. Shame o her
She was a former RNC aide, and Reince Priebus was the Chief of Staff. I’m sure that comes with a lot of authority over hiring decisions for positions like this.
Trump simply did not expect to win, had no nucleus of qualified people to staff critical offices, made disastrous appointments with Sessions, Mattis and others, and never really learned how to use the levers of power. The fact that Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Lynch and Clapper remain free and grinning says it all. Its painful to say this.
The New York Times? I’m supposed to drink this without hesitation? Come on folks.
I agree. He could ask for Ivanka to draw up a list of past and present suspected leakers, betrayers and enemies around him. And one of close associates. Same people on both lists except for his family. Just about. Omarosa,Scaramucci, Sessions....
People were under a lot of pressure from the Deep State not to work for the Trump Administration.
Why would ANY loyal Trump staffer talk to the NY Times??
