President Donald Trump issued a not-so-veiled threat to his former personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout (shown above left) — while also claiming that he “fully understood and forgave her” for her recent actions.
Trump also slammed other former aides on Twitter who have talked to the media about him in the past.
“While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don’t think there would ever be reason to use it,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
Westerhout, 29, was Trump’s White House gatekeeper.
She abruptly resigned her position this past Thursday after reports came to light that she had been sharing inside details about the Trump family with members of the media.
“Yes, I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements,” the president noted in a follow-up tweet, naming “disgusting and foul-mouthed Omarosa” Manigault Newman as one.
“Numerous others also!” he added.
Here are Trump’s tweets:
While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don’t think there would ever be reason to use it. She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night. I fully understood and forgave her! I love Tiffany, doing great!

…Yes, I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements. Disgusting and foul mouthed Omarosa is one. I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone, and she went for some cheap money from a book. Numerous others also!

The reference to his daughter, Tiffany, is interesting.
Westerhout apparently told members of the media that the president “couldn’t pick Tiffany out of a crowd” and that he was embarrassed by his daughter’s weight.
“I love Tiffany, doing great!” the president noted.
The president is spending the weekend in Camp David, as a number of outlets have pointed out on Saturday.
He’s been constantly monitoring the conditions around Hurricane Dorian as the storm heads for Florida and other parts of the east coast.

This story accurately points out what a violation of trust it is for an aide to do this to POTUS. But anyone notice what’s missing? The story doesn’t say what a violation of trust it was for a reporter to discuss or reveal an off the record conversation. https://t.co/V74irIaTi3
