Former White House adviser Alyssa Farah Griffin said that it was common knowledge throughout the Trump White House that the former president engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior around young women, reported The Daily Beast on Friday.
"Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is now a co-host of The View but was at the time among the dozen most senior staff in the West Wing, is sharing her experience in the Trump administration in the hopes that it will deter other women from working for the real estate mogul and reality TV star," the Beast reported.
"'I saw behavior and engagement with very young junior female staffers from the former president that made me uncomfortable,” she adds, alleging Trump’s behavior “was an open secret, open discussion in the West Wing,'" said the report. "'The way I was brought up, the way that I’ve behaved professionally is it is my duty to report that. So I took it to my direct report, which was the then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows,' she added. 'He seemed very aware of the issue and said he was going to handle it.'"
This comes after Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, told CNN that she repeatedly did everything in her power to prevent Trump ever being alone in the room with one of her specific young female staffers, whom Trump casually made sexual comments about, because she was afraid of what he would do to her.
