M'kay, Madeline Westerhouse (@madwest45), we know you aren't just an intern... it's your duty to this nation to make a personal statement about what happened yesterday if the cost is diminishing our freedom of the press.
Here's something to refresh your memory.

And, FWIW - It's pretty clear from a cursory search that Madeline is a fully paid member of the White House staff, Trump's executive assistant - she wouldn't have had a Hatch Act violation were she were a lowly intern...

And, last I checked, interns don't get paid $130,000/ann.
Neither did other executive assistants to the president, for that matter.

p.s. @presssec - you don't usually go from finance staffer at the RNC to an "internship" at the White House...
So the entire premise under which you've cited pulling Acosta's hard pass is predicated on a blatant lie.
But you know that.
But you know that.
P.S. Good way to put yourself at the top of the national radar, sweetie. Don't you have interns for that?
P.P.P.S. What's that extra $60k you make over others formally in your position for - your silence? Or do you assist during 'executive time' as well?
Don't you have interns for that?
Then again....

Oh, right. @PressSec about that video you uploaded? I do believe that falsifying government records is a crime, and, you know, your tweets are official statements...
Please stop 1001ing yourself already?

I suppose it's possible there is a Hope3.0 in the wings, so if this is actually an intern who is simply strikingly similar in appearance to Ms. Hicks/Westerhout, I will gladly acknowledge my error upon receipt of a public statement from the intern regarding yesterday's events.
Looks like I was wrong...
And the apology.
