Karoline Leavitt’s Controversial Tenure | UK News

Karoline Leavitt, President Trump’s fiery press secretary for two turbulent years, is stepping down — leaving behind a legacy defined by unwavering loyalty, bold defiance of the press, and a string of controversies. She defended the president’s every move, even shielding him from scrutiny over past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, while also sparking outrage with her dismissive remarks about reporters and her controversial take on Gen Z. Her tenure saw major shifts in White House media protocol — including the controversial “new media” seat and a failed attempt to control the press pool — culminating in a high-profile legal battle with the AP. Despite backlash and criticism, she remains the youngest and first expectant mother ever to serve as press secretary — a role that blended fierce advocacy with polarizing moments.
