An aide and top gatekeeper to President Trump has resigned from her position at the White House after reportedly being caught leaking to the press, Bloomberg and the New York Times reported late Thursday.
Madeleine Westerhout, the now-former special assistant to the president and director of Oval Office operations, had worked for the president since the transition.
She shared details about Trump, his family and his time in the White House during an off-the-record chat with reporters.
Westerhout served as a critical gatekeeper for the president.
Her office sat literally in front of the Oval Office.
Many former Trump staffers tried to turn Westerhout into an ally because of her ability to control access to the Oval.
Per the NYT, her authority in the West Wing came almost entirely from her physical proximity to the president, since she was not a "Name brand" aide.
