Karoline Leavitt, who served as President Donald Trump's press secretary for a year and a half, has revealed that journalists often apologized for "unfair" questions during press briefings. On the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Leavitt said that reporters were sometimes compelled to ask questions that their editors desired.
She acknowledged that both sides were to blame for this, but emphasized the pressure reporters faced due to their employers' demands. Leavitt joined the Trump administration at the beginning of his second term in 2025 and became the youngest person to hold the position. She stepped down from the role at the end of August to spend more time with her family.
President Trump praised Leavitt in her farewell statement, praising her leadership and accomplishments during her tenure.
