Karoline Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in American history, has reportedly been left in the dark as President Donald Trump fields a growing stream of one-on-one calls with journalists — offering contradictory accounts of the United States' ongoing war in Iran without consulting his own communications team. According to White House officials, Trump has even taunted Leavitt directly, telling her he has leaked information to a reporter and that she will have to 'wait and see' along with everyone else.
The situation has placed the 28-year-old in an increasingly untenable position: publicly defending a president whose private messaging to the press has repeatedly contradicted what the White House has officially said.
