US President Donald Trump 's Personal Assistant has been forced to resign from the White House after leaking Private Information about His Family .

She was drinking and bragging about her access to Mr Trump during his holiday in New Jersey , Cbs News reports.

Ms Westerhout had worked with him since The First day of his presidency.

Several White House officials had long suspected Ms Westerhout of disloyalty to Mr Trump, with one former official telling CBS: "She was a spy from Day One who sought to use her proximity to The President to curry favour with his detractors. "

According to two books about the Trump White House, Ms Westerhout, a former Republican National Committee aide, was upset and seen crying on Election Night once it became clear that Mr Trump had won.

Despite her apparent dismay at Mr Trump's victory, she managed to land a reported $145,000 (£120,000) Position as his gatekeeper.

During Mr Trump's transition, Ms Westerhout was often seen escorting guests through the lobby of Trump Tower in New York .

According to the New York Times, she has a private Instagram page where she posts about her life in the White House and travels with The President .

In one post she joked about printing out a piece of paper that Mr Trump had held up at a public event.

When veteran journalist Bob Woodward complained to Mr Trump that his request to speak with him had not been passed along by more prominent aides such as Kellyanne Conway , Mr Trump said he should have contacted Ms Westerhout.

"Madeleine is The Key . She's The Secret ," Mr Trump said.

According to CBS, Mr Trump has also often referred to her as "my beauty".
