Ex-White House ‘gatekeeper’ cries on stand as she testifies about Trump firing her
One of Donald Trump’s chief White House aides sobbed on the witness stand while testifying at his hush money trial as she remembered her former boss firing her from his administration after what she called a “regretful youthful indiscretion”.
Madeleine Westerhout is one of two key Trump administration figures who have testified in his case in Manhattan, where the former president is charged with falsifying business records as part of an alleged cover up to keep the story of a sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels hidden from voters in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election.
