'This is the truth': Trump's former assistant who resigned in scandal speaks out

Madeleine Westerhout didn’t want Donald Trump to be the Republican Party’s nominee. She didn’t vote for him in the general election. But after getting to meet the president-elect, she began to question whether she had been wrong about him.

“Honestly, my very first interaction with him was so positive, that I thought, ‘Wow, I definitely misjudged him, and I need to be more careful about what I believe because I think that not everything the press says is absolutely accurate,'” the 29-year-old former White House official told the Washington Examiner in an interview on Monday.
