President Trump announced Wednesday that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her position at the end of the month, saying she wants to spend more time with her young children. Trump said she would become one of his top outside advisors and an influential voice in the Republican Party ahead of the midterms.
Leavitt, who became the youngest White House press secretary in history at 27, released her own statement calling the role 'the honor and adventure of a lifetime' and saying she could not be the mother her children deserve while also serving as press secretary. She gave birth to her second child, a daughter, in May, and is the sixth consecutive working mother to hold the post.
