Madeleine Westerhout to release White House memoir in August

Former Director of Oval Office Operations Madeleine Westerhout, who was dismissed last year after reportedly telling reporters details about President Trump’s family during an off-the-record dinner, will publish a memoir to be released in August 2020.

“With so many books out there that have attacked President Trump, I feel it is important to share what I see as the other side — the truth — about the man who is a kind and generous boss, a great leader for our country, and someone I grew to deeply admire,” Westerhout said, according to Axios.

The memoir, titled “Off the Record,” will also castigate the reporters who disclosed the details of the August 2019 conversation, who Westerhout accused of breaking an off-the-record agreement, according to publisher Center Street.

Westerhout describes her remarks as a “momentary lapse in judgment that occurred because of too much wine at a dinner,” according to the publication.

During the conversation, Westerhout reportedly told reporters she had a better relationship with the president than he did with his own daughters, and said Trump believed his younger daughter Tiffany Trump to be overweight and disliked being photographed with her.

Trump has denied making any such comments, and said of Westerhout after her firing, “I guess she said some things. She called me. She was very upset. She was very down.”
