Leavitt will step down from her role at the White House at the end of the month to spend more time with her family, Trump announced on Wednesday—”a decision,” he said in a Truth Social post, “I totally understand and respect!” He added that she “will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party.”
“Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium,” she said. “I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes.”
Here are some of the most notable moments of Leavitt going head-to-head with the press in the year and a half she has served in her role.
“He’s actually not implementing tax hikes. Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries that, again, have been ripping us off,” Leavitt replied. “Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people, and the President is a staunch advocate of tax cuts.”
Leavitt responded by arguing that tariffs would be beneficial for Americans, before adding that Boak was being “insulting.”
When she said a reporter asked a “stupid question”
At a White House press briefing in June 2025, NOTUS reporter Jasmine Wright asked Leavitt to “clarify what kind of protest President Trump does support or find acceptable.” The question came after Trump had issued a warning to potential protesters ahead of the upcoming military parade in the nation’s capital: “For those people that want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force.”
Wright then asked whether the President would allow peaceful protests the day of the military parade in the nation’s capital. Leavitt shot back: “Of course the President supports peaceful protests. What a stupid question.”

“I will just point out that there are a lot of wins in the news this week that people in this room have not asked about because you continue to ask questions about the same subject so let me point them out for you,” Leavitt said, before she began reading off other news that the Trump Administration was celebrating as victories, including recent stock market results.
When she accused a journalist of being a “leftwing activist”
During a press briefing in January—just a week after Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent—The Hill columnist Niall Stanage asked Leavitt a question about ICE’s tactics. He cited then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s claim that ICE officers are “doing everything correctly.” He went on to list statistics that 32 people died while in ICE custody in 2025 and more than 170 Americans were detained by the agency last year, before referencing Good’s death.
Leavitt replied: “Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?”
“Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably,” he said.
“You’re pretending like you’re a journalist, but you’re a leftwing activist,” she continued. “The question that you just raised and your answer proves you’re biased. You should be reporting on the facts.”
When she told a journalist “You’re a reporter—you should find out” in response to a query
The moment was one of several heated exchanges Leavitt and Collins have had since Trump took office for a second term. Also in March 2025, Leavitt refused to take a follow-up question from Collins, saying twice: “Kaitlan, I’m not taking your follow-up.”
