Karoline Leavitt to depart White House

Published Updated



White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, a long-term aide to President Donald Trump, will be departing the administration at the end of August to spend more time with her family.

“Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect!” Trump wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. “Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections.”
