Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary since the start of Trump's second term, will leave her role at the end of the month, President Trump announced on social media. Leavitt, who at 27 became the youngest press secretary in US history, will reportedly become one of Trump's 'top outside advisors.' Trump said he 'totally understands and respects' her decision, citing her desire to spend more time with her two young children.
Leavitt previously served as a press aide during Trump's first term and ran unsuccessfully for a US House seat in New Hampshire before returning to the administration. She gave birth to her second child in May and had recently returned from parental leave.
