Karoline Leavitt to Leave White House Press Secretary Role at End of August
President Trump announced on August 12 that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will depart her role at the end of the month, citing her desire to spend more time with her family. Leavitt, the youngest person ever to serve as White House press secretary, had been Trump's top spokesperson since the start of his administration. Her departure removes his most prominent public-facing communications figure as the administration heads into the fall legislative and policy calendar.
No successor has been named.
