Donald Trump told pals he was banging assistant | Political News

Donald Trump allegedly told buddies he was “banging” his 28-year-old White House assistant, a outstanding creator claimed to Jeffrey Epstein.

Michael Wolff, who has written a number of books and articles about Trump, made the declare in a draft of a portion of a e book shared with the pedophile financier in a 2019 electronic mail. In it, he names Madeleine Westerhout as the assistant.

Ms Westerhout last night time said the claims in Wolff’s electronic mail have been “absurd” and “unhinged from reality”. The electronic mail was launched as half of a 23,000 doc trove of communications and papers handed to Congress by Epstein’s property. The draft remembers Trump’s determination to spend the 2018 Christmas vacation at the White House, reasonably than decamp with his household to Mar A Lago, his Palm Beach, Florida resort.

First Lady Melania Trump had already left for Florida, but did return briefly to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in DC.

But in textual content – which was edited to take away the id of the aide in his 2019 e book ‘Siege’ – Wolff claimed: “In an empty White House, Trump’s personal secretary, 28-year-old Madeleine Westerhout, brought his papers and call sheets from the West Wing up to the residence, finding him, she told friends, in his underwear,” according to Mirror UK.

Westerhout was a long-time member of Trump’s workers and the previous elevator attendant at Trump Tower during the transition. The draft reads: “[Steve] Bannon recalled noting that Trump took a particular interest in her. A leering Trump kept repeating, ‘She’s got a way about her,’ his signature, and creepy, stamp of approval for young women.”

Wolff went on: “Now the president was telling friends that he wasn’t staying at the White House because of the shutdown – he was staying because he was “banging” Madeleine. Shutdown bravado? Locker room talk? Or all part of a new alternative reality that only he seemed to be living in?”

DON’T MISS…

Through her lawyer, Ms Westerhout said: “These are absurd and defamatory accusations from a discredited writer who has been known to peddle falsehoods. The lies in this email are unhinged from reality and simply not true.”

In her 2020 e book, entitled “Off the Record”, Ms Westerhout recounts her sacking from the White House workers, after she made indiscreet feedback to reporters about the President’s household. But it makes no point out of a relationship between her and the President.

In the acknowledgments for the e book, she writes: “I must give a special thanks to President Trump. The more than two and a half years I spent sitting outside the Oval Office were the most exciting of my life. I wish everyone could get to know him the way I did. They would never doubt how much he loves this country.”

President Trump has branded the release of the information a “hoax” and a “scam” supposed to distract consideration from Democrats dropping their battle on the federal government shutdown.

He wrote on Truth Social last night time: “This is another Russia, Russia, Russia fraud, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his “Island.” Stay tuned!!!”

Trump said he had stayed at the White House for Christmas in 2018 because the federal government was shut down due to a Congressional standoff over his calls for for $5 billion funding for his border wall. “I am all alone (poor me) in the White House,” he wrote on Twitter on December 23. “Waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security.”

Melania returned from Mar a Lago on Christmas Eve for an event where she and the President spoke on the telephone to kids who called to observe Santa’s flight around the world. During the event, Trump requested a seven yr previous little one: “Are you still a believer in Santa? Because at 7 it’s marginal, right?” According to Wolff’s e book, Melania was “furious” about the exchange. “Melania didn’t think that was funny,” he quoted one aide as saying. “Clearly a guy who had never dealt with a seven-year-old.”

Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said this week after the Epstein emails have been launched: “These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”
