White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role, will leave at month's end, President Donald Trump has announced. Leavitt, 28, just recently returned to the White House after taking a brief leave for the birth of her second child in May.
Leavitt, who served Trump as a press aide during his first go-around in the White House, has been one of the
most visible advocates of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. The Republican president described her as one of his "most trusted aides" in a social media post announcing her departure.
He said Leavitt "will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect.
