Madeleine Westerhout, a former White House aide, has recently been questioned about the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape that surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign. The tape, which captured then-candidate Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, caused a significant stir within the Republican National Committee (RNC) leadership at the time.
Westerhout recalled the impact of the tape, stating that it had a rattling effect on the RNC leadership. The release of the tape led to widespread criticism and backlash against Trump, with many questioning his character and fitness for office.
