Madeleine Westerhout, the former personal secretary of ex-President Donald Trump and director of Oval Office Operations from February to August 2019, took the stand as the next witness in the ongoing proceedings.
Upon entering the courtroom for the first time, Westerhout expressed her nervousness, having never been in such a setting before.
During questioning, Westerhout discussed the impact of the 'Access Hollywood' tape, revealing that it had unsettled Republican National Committee (RNC) leadership and prompted discussions on the possibility of replacing Trump as a candidate.
Following Trump's election, Westerhout worked from Trump Tower, where she played a role in organizing interviews for cabinet positions and senior staff positions within the new administration.
Referred to as 'The Greeter Girl' by media outlets, Westerhout highlighted her seamless collaboration with Rhona Graff, Trump's long-serving assistant, emphasizing her integral role in coordinating interviews.
