White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role, will leave the position at the end of August, President Donald Trump announced Wednesday.⁠ ⁠ Leavitt, 28, just recently returned to the White House after taking a brief leave for the birth of her second child in May.⁠ ⁠ "Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline 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!" Trump said in a Truth Social post.⁠ ⁠ #DonaldTrump #WhiteHouse #KarolineLeavitt
