Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will resign from her role at the end of the month, with a public relations expert noting that the president is a 'very demanding boss' and the press secretary 'did not have it in her' to carry on.
The news came after Leavitt returned to the West Wing last month following a roughly seven-week maternity leave after the birth of her second child in May. Having taken on the position when she was 27 years old, she made history as the youngest White House Press Secretary in American history. Trump confirmed her departure on Truth Social, stating that his loyal aide was stepping down to spend more time with her young family and children.
