According to the president, Westerhout’s comments came after she consumed a certain amount of alcohol. Furthermore, she allegedly boasted about having a stronger relationship with Trump than his own children.
Trump expressed disappointment in Westerhout’s statements, but ultimately says she’s a “good person” and he “wished her well” during their last conversation.

Westerhout’s statements to press members appear to have served as the final straw. Apparently, other aides in the White House took issue with her; reports claim that Westerhout attempted to move beyond her role as a personal assistant to managing foreign travel details.
The now former assistant to the president commenced working for Trump in 2016. First, she joined the president’s campaign and maintained her position until Thursday, August 29th. Prior to working for the president, Westerhout previously served as a staffer for the Republican National Committee.
