President Donald Trump commented Friday on the abrupt resignation of his personal assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, who sources said revealed personal details about his family during what the president said was an off-the-record dinner with reporters.

On Saturday morning, the president tweeted that Westerhout has a"fully enforceable confidentiality agreement."The tweet also said Westerhout called Trump to"apologize."While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don’t think there would ever be reason to use it. She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night.

Asked whether reports were true that Westerhout had said Trump made disparaging comments about his daughter, Tiffany, the president replied, “Oh no. Tiffany is great. I love Tiffany.”"I'm going to say it's just absolutely false. She's a wonderful person. She's studied so hard, she's a great student and she's a great person ... I love Tiffany, she's a great person," Trump said. Tiffany Trump is a student at Georgetown University Law School in Washington, D.C.

A senior official said Westerhout was not allowed to return to the White House on Friday following her sudden departure.
