Madeleine Westerhout, President Donald Trump's personal assistant, who has been described as a gatekeeper to the president, resigned on Thursday after leaking to the press earlier this month. Several White House officials had long suspected her of disloyalty to the president. A former staffer for the Republican National Committee and Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign, she had reportedly cried when it became clear Trump had won in 2016.
"She was a spy from day one who sought to use her proximity to the president to curry favor with his detractors," a former White House official told CBS News.
Westerhout's resignation came after 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," The New York Times reported.
Westerhout was immediately considered a "separated employee" and was not allowed to return to the White House on Friday.
According to CBS News, the New Jersey dinner was not the first time Trump's personal assistant had gossiped with reporters present. At a farewell event for former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, she bragged about her gatekeeper status.

There should be someone in Security fired as well for sleeping on the job.
Average face but her body is rocking.
These ain't "Democrat RATS," these are REPUBLICANS!!! You can call them Deep State, GOPe, Bush Leaguers, whatever...but the fact remains, these are REPUBLICANS!!!
Who lets these 28 year old chicks into these positions. Idiotic...
Pardon my skepticism.
Trump is a lousy judge of character.
yup
more garbage “news” based on anonymous sources ... i don’t why anyone here still give credence to this style of bullshit from the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia ...
Relax, folks. If “several White House officials had long suspected her of disloyalty to the president” as the writer states, we can rest assured that multiple canary traps were used to confirm their suspicions. I suspect Miss Westerhout was used to feed disinformation to the press, wittingly or unwittingly. She was outed by the Washington Post, and the press doesn’t usually burn its sources unless they’ve been double crossed with bad information. C’est la guerre.
Becasuse she worked for and was recommended by Reince Priebus the then head of the REPUBLICAN National Committee
Exactly. Turned enemy agents, too.
Soon to be a CNN contributor.
The absolute worst job this President has done has been and continues to be hiring and appointing verified loyal people around him and within his administration. It’s just staggering that he cannot get it right. At this point I would guess we will never know how many pure treasonous scum are still within the administration. In a different time I would personally have them hung.
Obviously not...he has the very WORST history of surrounding himself with utter disasters and traitors; sadly!
Could very well be that Trump was aware that she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and used her for spilling what he wanted her to spill. Trump is a smart man and I would never underestimate him.
Trusting Republicans.
Once you know you are being spied on, it’s no problem to use that source as a disinformation pipeline.
