  "account": "Karoline Leavitt has resigned as White House press secretary at the end of this month. The youngest person to hold the role, Leavitt cited a desire to spend more time with her family as the reason for her decision. Trump announced the resignation via his social media platform, stating that Leavitt has been a real leader in the White House and will now serve as a senior advisor and influential voice within the Republican Party. Leavitt, who has been with Trump since his first term, called the move a \"bittersweet decision\" in a social media post. She expressed gratitude for the opportunities provided to her during her tenure, including working in the West Wing, flying around the world, meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across the country.",
