Trump announced the resignation of press secretary Karoline Leavitt just weeks after she returned from maternity leave. The move marked a significant staff shake-up, though the circumstances and reasons for her departure remained unclear.
Press secretary departures are usually significant, especially when they happen this quickly after someone returns from leave. The timing raises questions about whether there was a specific incident or whether it reflects broader staff instability at the White House. Leavitt was a trusted Trump loyalist, so her exit isn't about disloyalty — it suggests either internal conflict or external pressure that made the role untenable.
