President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her post at the end of the month to spend more time with her family. Leavitt, 28, is the youngest person ever to hold the role. She gave birth to her second child, a daughter, in May and recently returned from a brief leave. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that Leavitt would depart so she could focus on her young children and family, adding that he understood and respected her decision. He also said Leavitt will continue as an outside adviser. Leavitt confirmed her own departure on Wednesday. She has served as press secretary during Trump's current term.
