Did Karoline Leavitt resign over Trump’s ‘decoy plane’ betrayal? What Iran claimed and how the White House responded
Karoline Leavitt's resignation sparked social media speculation linking her to a decoy aircraft incident during Trump's departure from Turkey.
Iran's embassy in South Africa has claimed that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt resigned due to President Donald Trump's alleged deception involving a "decoy plane" during his departure from Turkey. However, this claim is unsubstantiated by available evidence and the White House has denied it. Leavitt announced her resignation on Wednesday, citing a desire to spend more time with her family and inability to provide the necessary time for her two young children while serving as press secretary.
Trump acknowledged her decision and stated that she would remain an outside adviser to the administration. The Iranian embassy in South Africa posted a photo of Leavitt on X, celebrating her resignation and linking it to the reported Air Force One deception, falsely suggesting that Trump had betrayed her by leaving her in danger while he escaped on another aircraft.
