World : Trump Announces Karoline Leavitt's Departure As White House Press Secretary

WASHINGTON, Aug 13 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her role at the end of August and become one of his top outside advisers, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has resigned from her position, citing the need to be more present for her family. Donald Trump, her former boss, confirmed her departure, stating that she will now serve as one of his top outside advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party. Online speculation has suggested that Leavitt's departure may have been due to the actions of her aide, Natalie Harp, who allegedly traveled on a decoy plane while Leavitt remained on Air Force One.

However, these claims have not been independently verified by HT.com, and the official reason for Leavitt's departure is to spend more time with her two young children.
