President Donald Trump’s personal assistant was fired Thursday because she revealed personal information about the first family during an off-the-record dinner, according to a new report shedding light on her dismissal.
some other tidbits from politico (originally posted in the first Westerhout thread)
a couple of other tidbits…
Hogan Gidley was at the same dinner, but left before the ‘objectionable’ comment were made.
they also report on (some of?) the reporters at the dinner…and it occurred in a public setting
After the Aug. 17 dinner, which took place at the restaurant inside the nearby Embassy Suites hotel and included the Washington Post’s Phil Rucker, Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs, Reuters’ Steve Holland and the Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Restuccia, Westerhout rode back to a different hotel, the Marriott, with Rucker and Holland.
Administration officials are now blaming the media, saying the dinner was “off the record”, and Don Jr informal mouthpiece is targetting Rucker…
“This was an off-the-record dinner and the media blatantly violated that agreement,” an administration official said.
Arthur Schwartz, a confidant of Donald Trump Jr. who spars frequently with the media, accused Rucker on Friday in a series of tweets of having “burned” Westerhout…
(From other sources) Schwartz has tweeted that Rucker told someone else about what Westerhout had said, and THAT person brought it to the White House’s attention.
Does “off the record” include gossiping with someone else?
We only know about it because she got fired for it which indicates to me that someone else from the White House also at the dinner, not a reporter, ratted her out to whoever fired her.
We would never had heard about this dinner otherwise.
"The President did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight.”
“Funeral arrangements for Irony are pending at Bizarro Bros. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to The Society for the Prevention of Raccoon-Faced Derp-Nozzles In Clown Wigs.”
At the take-your-kid-to-work deal when the White House press corps had their children there, he not only told the kids how awful their parents are but he insulted Sarah Sanders when the candy or cookies or whatever were brought in for the kids. Something about laying off the sweets so they wouldn’t become fat, while looking at Sarah. He repeatedly humiliated Chris Christie in public. He has that special internal mirror Narcissists have that doesn’t allow him to see what he looks like.
