Trump’s former press secretary joins Fox News as contributor
Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has landed her next gig at Fox News.
Leavitt announced she was leaving the White House in August. One of the most prominent faces of President Donald Trump’s second administration, the network said Ms Leavitt will serve as an on-air contributor in November.
Trump has an increasingly thorny relationship with the network, whose key commentators have long given him favourable coverage. He has expressed frustration with Fox coverage choices as recently as Sunday, when he bemoaned what he said was the network’s lack of coverage of his rallies.
Mr Trump is embroiled in a stand-off with news outlets whose coverage displeases him, capped by his recent efforts to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. A judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, and a hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
