This is “a decision I fully understand and respect! Karoline will now become one of my main external advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to challenge history and decisively win the midterm elections,” the tycoon added.
Leavitt’s departure comes amid controversies over the US president’s “secret” trip from Turkey at the end of the NATO summit, decided in response to Iranian threats. At the end of April, Leavitt went on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her second child, without naming a replacement. She returned to her position a few weeks later, finding herself again in the midst of the turmoil sparked by the US and Israel’s war against Iran.

Leavitt, 28, became known as an extremely loyal supporter of the president, defending him fiercely and not hesitating to deliver sharp replies to journalists during press briefings.
“President Trump asked me to continue serving him as his close advisor from outside,” the tough spokeswoman wrote on social media. “Serving as White House spokeswoman over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for offering me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country to meet Americans from all walks of life,” Leavitt added in a post on X, thanking the tycoon shortly after announcing her departure from the position at the end of the month.
