President Donald Trump's personal assistant, who's been with him since the start of his administration, has abruptly left the White House after sharing intimate details about the President's family with reporters, multiple people tell CNN.
Madeleine Westerhout was forced to resign as executive assistant to the President on Thursday after Trump learned she had shared information with reporters at a recent off-the-record meeting, during which she didn't say her comments were off the record, according to sources familiar with her departure. A reporter divulged details about the dinner to White House staff, the people said.
A former White House official told CNN that Trump was close with Westerhout — whose office was directly in front of the Oval Office — but discussing personal information about his family was a red line.
Her ouster marks yet another departure from an administration beset by a series of exits by high-ranking officials. It also underlines the President's battle against the extensive leaks out of the White House and his greater campaign against the press, and could have a chilling effect on future contacts between members of the administration and reporters.

Another rat jumps off the ship of trump…
Now Florida, “when will it end” is going to get special attention from Trump..
Trump is at camp David practicing throwing rolls of paper towels like he’s feeding the seals at Seaworld.
@Don Berry obviously you are very ignorant of reality…. wake up and smell the coffee.
@Mark K no it’s the trumptards that are ignorant and stupid
@Jim P you haven’t actually said anything yet. I’m going to guess that you were a young teenager when Obama started. Just a guess.
@Don Berry no point in trying to get trumptards to understand… if you like a president that cannot tell the truth about just about a thing …. it’s a lost cause. Delusional comes to mind. By the way i am retired…. long way from a teenager…..🙄
@Mark K No, but you trumptards sure are. You idiots are responsible for fucking this country up.
You know he’ll use federal money to do any needed repairs to his property!
No he will use hurricane insurance money you moron, he doesn’t even get paid to be the president do you really think he would take federal money…. I feel like I’m talking to my 7 year old son…. what happened to everyone’s brain cells!?!
J D4eva I hope your 7 yr old has more brains then you . Sparky Mcbrain spurs, has used campaign and chairity money to pay off his personal debts. He hasn’t paid ten cities for debts aqired by his campaign rallies, 500,000 to Elpaso alone. No he doesn’t take a salary he just leaches off the presidency like a vampire.Glad your 7 year old isn’t in a cage at the boarder it’s a real break for him under the space cadet bone spur .
J D4eva 😂 you’re a sheep.
Kenneth Mitchell hahaha sparky mcbrain spurs. I may need to borrow that one.
Deborah Shaw Yes she is asleep, at the wheel and flooring the peddle.
Trump noticed landfall is projected for Palm Beach area-Quick declaration of Disaster…
He didn’t declare a Disaster until the day Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico.
@Mike Keller that didn’t hurt anybody but you fighting him does, you proud?
@Gavin Coleman nope he didn’t give money because PR was waisting everything. Your misrepresentation of the PRESIDENT should be treated as slander.
“Spend weekend monitoring the path of hurricane Dorian” or stuffing Big Macs down his pie hole.
@Margo Thatcher he’s obessed, but he makes fun of other people.
@Margo Thatcher right, I really hope you just joking, windowlicker, you’re not describing the fascist racist in Chief when you call him macca… That’s Paul McCartney’s nickname you moron, duuuuh!!
@Iceman WAUGH i see fail
@nucking futz the only racist is you and fascist back gun control antifa is a band of Creepy cowards
Margo Thatcher WTF are you on? Sparky bone spurs has class. When did he acquire it? Who did barrow it from? And how law suites will be filled because he won’t pay it back? And how much of th e Kool-aid did you drink?
Wonder if Trump would care so much if Mara Lago wasn’t in the cross hairs.
Or there were Trump loyalists among the reporters who did let the administration know that she was talking.
If Hurricane Dorian rips up Mar A Lago, you know it’s a Puerto rican hurricane that doesn’t appreciate Donald’s comments about his country. 🤣🤣🤣
Yip! A real believer in karma and in this case well deserved.
Don’t worry Mar A Largo was built to withstand hurricanes so don’t lose sleep over Mar A Largo. I’d worry about the people in that area who might lose their homes.
@jane toscano Heartless losers like them don’t care. The just care about their feelings. It’s really sick.
A state of emergency in Florida, serving personal interest, none for Puerto Rico? Amazing double standard in reference to The Worth or Value of human life..
i see fail
*Hire a money launderer for the Russian mob,*
*Expect a mafia rat-catcher to do a hit job.*
dafttool 🤭 thanks for sharing your experience, I see it hasn’t helped you. Keep trying, all the best!
Merriel, you will soon see who is dumb, clue: go look in the mirror. Did that help?
Margo Thatcher ok we can tell you are trumptarded good luck in your life.
Sharonas, are you 9?
@Margo Thatcher zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz boring old worn out argument…. all you gotta do is LOOK at donnie dementia SWOON every time his BFF Vlad is near
So we’ve got an acting head of FEMA, and acting head of Homeland Security and a president acting like he knows what he’s doing…
@Omowàle Zaquir More childlike insults. I’m sure you’re not a GODLESS demoncrat. You can’t even name an independent that’s running. You push and teach the same things that the GODLESS demoncrats teach and push and you act just like one. You’re just as evil and devil owned as they are.
@Omowàle Zaquir I guess you couldn’t find any facts to back up your lies and so you do the only thing you can do. More lies, hate and childlike insults. That’s all you got.
@Ronald Novigrod You won’t be able to get through to these GODLESS demoncrats. They love the devil’s lies to much. They let their hate for GOD and whats right and our great president blind them from the truth. That’s why it’s so easy for the devil and his GODLESS demoncrat party to use them. All you’ll get from them is lies, hate and childlike insults. That’s all they have. They have no facts to back up what they say because what they are saying is lies or just their opinion.
heavy chevy
Not believing in your bastardized version of (barbaric) catholicism doesn’t make me godless, it simply means I don’t believe in your virgin raping excuse for a god.
Why isn’t the chosen one at Mar a Lago playing Golf? He’s so great at deflection I bet that hurricane’s gonna bounce right off his Airhead.
Trump trying to act like a real prez is pretty funny, lame but funny
Oh Donnie shouldn’t you be in Mara Largo during this hurricane? Man-up little buddy !
Trump is supposedly the chose one. I think he should go down there and force the hurricane to turn back through the word of god.
The key words are Trump demands loyalty from those who work for him but he is not loyal to them in return. Why anyone in their right mind works for him is beyond sanity.
Don Adams why any would still vote for him is beyond belief!
Trump will now say he met her only a few times and that she was a low-level employee.
That is an assumption based on how you feel. Your feelings do not matter.
Sorry, she likes alpha men.
time traveler lol
School children everyone of you. Sad pathetic little people. Void of all reality. Soon comes the purge. Prepare.
Looks like ACTING is the case for the whole Trump GOP…!!! LMAO
Camp David…? I thought Dorian… or DORAL was the “headache” of choice among Red necks?
Small Government… small Mind. Pay “no mind”.
Would Trump have suggested nuking a hurricane if his own properties WEREN’T in its path?
John Bidochka probably. At the time they thought it was going to hit Puerto Rico.
