President Donald Trump's former personal assistant Madeleine Westerhout will publish a tell-all book that focuses on why she lost her job.

Westerhout was one of the longest-tenured members of the president's White House staff who was pushed out after revealing critical comments about Trump's daughters to reporters in a conversation that was supposed to be off the record.

The publisher, Center Street, said Westerhout plans to hold "accountable the reporters who, according to the author, broke their agreement" the dinner was off the record.

The title of the book is "Off the Record: Picking Up the Pieces after Losing My Dream Job at the White House."

"With so many books out there that have attacked President Trump, I feel it is important to share what I see as the other side — the truth — about the man who is a kind and generous boss, a great leader for our country, and someone I grew to deeply admire," Westerhout said according to Axios.

Westerhout, 28, abruptly left her position in August after she told journalists that she had a better relationship with Trump than his daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and that the president didn’t like being photographed with Tiffany because she was seen as overweight.

Westerhout also joked that Trump could not pick Tiffany out of a crowd.
