The White House press secretary – the youngest person to hold the role – has been one of the US president’s most visible Maga advocates.

President Donald Trump says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will be leaving the administration at the end of the month to spend time with her young family.

Leavitt, who is the youngest White House press secretary every, gave birth in May to a girl, her second child.

Leavitt, 28, was the youngest White House press secretary in history when Trump appointed her early during his transition.
