President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will be stepping down from her position at the end of the month. In a statement posted to Truth Social, the president described Leavitt as a "trusted aide" and noted that she intends to spend more time with her family.

While the core facts of the departure are consistent across reporting, outlets differ on the scope of her future involvement. Fox News and The Guardian both report that Leavitt will transition into a role as an outside advisor to the president. Other outlets, such as Axios and The Independent, focused primarily on the resignation itself without detailing the future advisory capacity.

Leavitt, 28, recently returned to her post following maternity leave after the birth of her daughter in May. The Guardian reported that Leavitt confirmed the news on social media, noting her recent return to the administration. There is no public indication of conflict regarding the departure; all sources attribute the decision to her desire to prioritize family time. The transition is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.
