cnn's jeremy diamond is live for us at the white house. jeremy, she's been seen as a very loyal person to the president and a true believer in his policies. how far did she take it when she apparently talked about family members to reporters? >> reporter: that's right. multiple sources are now telling us that the president's personal assistant was forced to resign after she shared some intimate details about the president's family with reporters during an off the record dinner. the details made their way to the president's ear and that was very much viewed by him as a red line as anything having to do with his family often is. her abrupt departure was viewed with a lot of shock, frankly, by a lot of officials inside the white house who viewed her as someone who had been a gatekeeper to the president for two and a half years. that's despite the fact that back during the 2016 election when president trump was elected, she was reportedly in tears at the time when she was an rnc staffer. despite that, she did go on to become a trusted aide to
