WHAT HAPPENED
Former President Donald Trump announced that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down from her role, according to a statement reported by Google News on 12 August 2026. The announcement came during a brief briefing with reporters.
Leavitt, who has served as press secretary since July 2023, will leave the position with immediate effect, with no cause or replacement named.
