New York Times: Inside the faction-split White House, Trump loyalists cheered Ms. Westerhouts departure as a move that was long overdue, and said they hoped it served as something of a wake-up call for Mr. Trump to bring in more loyalists into the West Wing. But current and former officials also expressed alarm about what information Ms. Westerhout could share down the road, not just about the president, but her colleagues.
Adding to the concern was the fact that, unlike most other officials, Ms Westerhout was not thought to have signed a nondisclosure agreement, a document that Mr. Trump has frequently used in effort to tamp down on leaks.
At least one publishing house on Friday had discussions about trying to approach Ms. Westerhout for a book.

Ms. Westerhout, a former Republican National Committee aide who also worked for Mitt Romneys 2012 presidential campaign, reportedly cried on election night because she was upset over Mr. Trumps victory. As such, the president at first viewed her warily, as a late convert to his cause who could not be trusted.

If this story is true, and if it's true that she did not sign a NDA (which I find hard to believe), it would make for some interesting commentary.

anyway.
