Ex-White House steno on Trump and the truth
"A White House stenographer is basically a walking record," Beck Dorey-Stein said. She was a steno for five years under President Barack Obama but left after two months of President Trump. She said that Team Trump wasn't receptive to having folks with recorders following around the president. Also, Trump's staff regularly didn't tell the stenographers about interviews or briefings, something that had been standard practice for years.
