Madeleine Westerhout, the former director of Oval Office Operations, has taken the stand as a key witness in an ongoing trial. During her time in the Trump White House, Westerhout served as one of the chief gatekeepers to the president, acting as his personal assistant and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Oval Office.
Westerhout's role was crucial, as she was positioned just outside the Oval Office, allowing her to witness almost every individual who entered and exited the president's inner sanctum over a span of more than two and a half years. Her unique vantage point provided her with valuable insights into the workings of the administration and the interactions between the president and his advisors.
