Khaberni - The "Mirror" reported that a leading writer for Jeffrey Epstein claimed that US President Donald Trump told his friends he was "intimate" with former White House aide Madeline Westerhout.
Journalist Michael Wolff made a previously unpublished allegation, naming the aide in an email to the felon Jeffrey Epstein.
American journalist Michael Wolff, who has written many books and articles about Trump, made this claim in a draft of a book co-authored with the felon Jeffrey Epstein in an email in 2019.
In this message, Madeline Westerhout was appointed as his aide. She stated last night to the "Mirror" newspaper that the claims in Wolff’s email were "ridiculous" and "detached from reality."
The email was published among a set of 23,000 documents of communications and papers handed over by Epstein's heirs to Congress.
The draft recalls "Trump's decision to spend Christmas 2018 at the White House because of the government shutdown and the congressional dispute over his demands for $5 billion in funding for his border wall, instead of moving with his family to Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Palm Beach, Florida."
First Lady Melania Trump had already left for Florida, but she returned briefly to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the capital, Washington.
Wolff, the journalist and writer, claimed that "in the empty White House, Trump’s personal secretary, 28-year-old Madeleine Westerhout, brought his papers and contact lists from the West Wing to the residence, and found him, as she told friends, in his underwear."
Westerhout was a veteran member of Trump's team. The draft notes: "Former chief advisor to Trump, Steve Bannon, noted that the president showed special interest in her. Trump kept watching her intently, repeating: 'She has her own style, a distinctive style.'
Wolff added: "The president told his friends he would not stay at the White House because of the shutdown - but because he was intimate with Madeline, is it just a show of strength because of the shutdown? Or locker-room talk? Or is it part of a new alternate reality that seems to be the only one he lives in?"
In her response, Westerhout, through her lawyer said: "These are ridiculous accusations and defamation by a distorted writer, known for promoting lies... The lies in this email are detached from reality, and they are simply untrue."
In her 2020 book titled "Off the Record," Ms. Westerhout tells the story of her dismissal from the White House staff after she made inappropriate comments to journalists about the president’s family, but she did not mention any relationship between her and the president.
President Trump described the release of the files as a "trick" and a "scam" aimed at distracting from the Democrats' loss in their battle over the government shutdown.
White House spokesperson Carolyn Levitt accused the Democrats of trying to tarnish the reputation of US President Donald Trump by publishing emails related to the felon Jeffrey Epstein.
