White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt got into a bit of a back-and-forth with a reporter during the White House briefing. Leavitt was corrected by Garret Haake of NBC News when she repeatedly referred to Judge James Boasberg as a Democratic activist. "This judge, Judge Boasberg is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama, his wife has donated more than $10,000 to Democrats and he has consistently shown his disdain for this President and his policies and it's unacceptable." "You took me right where I wanted to go about the idea that these people are all foreign terrorists, but Judge Boasberg was originally appointed by George W Bush and then elevated by Barack Obama, just feel like I should clear that up," NBC News reporter Garrett Haake replied.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cut off CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday in a showdown over pardons issued by Joe Biden but signed with an autopen. It came after President Donald Trump posted on social media that some of Biden's last-minute pardons were 'void' because they were allegedly signed electronically without his knowledge. 🎥 X/acyn #news #trump #biden #whitehouse #politics

During the White House briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed President Trump's claim that former President Joe Biden's pardons are "void." President Trump is alleging that the pardons were signed with an autopen and that President Biden did not know about them. CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins asked Leavitt if, "attorneys here at the White House told President Trump that he has the legal authority to undo a pardon simply because it was signed by an autopen?" "The president was begging the question that I think a lot of journalists in this room should be asking," Leavitt said. "The president [Trump] was raising the point that, did the president [Biden] even know about these pardons?" "Was his legal signature used without his consent or knowledge?" Leavitt added.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday said President Trump has “not committed” to sending American troops to Gaza following his proposal Tuesday for the U.S. to “take over” the Palestinian enclave. “It’s been made very clear to the president that the United States needs to be involved in this rebuilding effort to ensure stability in the region for all people,” Ms. Leavitt said at a press briefing. “That does not mean boots on the ground in Gaza. That does not mean American taxpayers will be funding this effort.” Ms. Leavitt said the president would look to partners in the region for help with the reconstruction, which White House officials believe could take 10 to 15 years. “His administration is going to work with our partners in the region to reconstruct this region,” she said. “This is an out-of-the-box idea. That’s who President Trump is. That’s why the American people elected him, and his goal is lasting peace in the Middle East for all people in the region.” Key American allies in the region like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia flatly rejected the president’s proposal. The Saudi government quicky put out a statement reaffirming that its support for an independent Palestinian state was “firm, steadfast and unwavering.” “The kingdom of Saudi Arabia also stresses what it had previously announced regarding its absolute rejection of infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, whether through Israeli settlement policies, annexation of Palestinian lands or efforts to displace the Palestinian people from their land,” the statement said. The governments of Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, China and Russia also reiterated their support for a two-state solution. #karolineleavitt #whitehouse #trump #gaza #cspan

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday announced the creation of a dedicated seating section in the briefing room for “new media” outlets, citing the changing media landscape. “The Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media who are seated in this room,” Ms. Leavitt, the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary at age 27, told reporters in her first briefing. “It’s essential to our team that we share President Trump’s message everywhere and adapt this White House to the new media landscape in 2025.” Ms. Leavitt also committed to “telling the truth from this podium every single day.” “While I’ve vowed to provide the truth from this podium, we ask that all of you in this room hold yourselves to that same standard,” she added. “We know for a fact that there have been lies that have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about this president, about his family, and we will not accept that. We will call you out when we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House.” #karolineleavitt #trump #whitehouse #cspan

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has admitted she has a 'very atypical love story' with her much older husband, Nicholas Riccio. The 27-year-old and the 59-year-old real estate mogul officially tied the knot at the start of the year, after welcoming their son Niko in July 2024. Opening up to Megyn Kelly about how the romance first began, she recalled: 'I met my husband during my congressional campaign. A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband. I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends. And then we fell in love.'

"She didn't have a binder with her, and yet was able to answer all of our questions on a range of topics." Jacqui Heinrich gives a behind-the-scenes look at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's first briefing and how the Trump administration is expanding access to the press room.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt faced a barrage of questions on the administration's freeze on federal financial assistance programs that congressional Democrats called “flatly illegal.” Agencies face a 5 p.m. ET deadline to comply with a memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget to cease spending on any grant or loan programs if they suspect it might conflict with Pres. Trump's recent executive orders on DEI, foreign aid, climate spending and more. The memo prompted widespread confusion among advocacy organizations and state officials, some of whom reported error messages when trying to access portals to draw down funds for Medicaid, community health centers and more. A legal challenge has been filed by nonprofits and health groups who argue the Office of Management and Budget is exceeding its authority. Democrats are slamming the move, noting the funds have been appropriated by Congress.
