Vance will be joined by US President Donald Trump’s top envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing. Iran has accused Israel of targeting one of its oil refineries, while Gulf countries reported coming under Iranian drone and missile fire throughout much of Wednesday after Israel was targeted in numerous missile attacks overnight. And while Pakistani mediators in announcing the ceasefire said that it covered Lebanon, the US and Israel have insisted otherwise and IDF strikes targeting Hezbollah reached levels on Wednesday not seen since the beginning of the war. Vance claimed a...

As Karoline Leavitt gears up to welcome her second child, there's chatter on who will fill her role during her maternity leave... Leavitt, 28, is due in May, and three women in her press office are seen as potential stand-ins during her absence: Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers, and Regional Press Secretary Liz Huston. Kelly joined the White House in January and brings extensive political experience, having worked on several Republican campaigns. Prior to being on Leavitt's team, she worked for the Republican National Convention as a national press secretary and as communications director for...

KAROLINE LEAVITT: “You can and you should do both because actually being a mom and having a family and having a job, it gives you the greatest perspective.” @PressSec live at the This Is the Turning Point

On Thursday, Turning Point USA hosted a conversation between Erika Kirk and Karoline Leavitt. The two spoke about President Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, conservative policy, and more at George Washington University.

The FBI has warned California’s governor and law enforcement agencies about the possibility of an Iranian drone attack targeting the state due to information acquired last month. The bureau authorities issued the alert at the end of February, which noted that they had information that, as of earlier that month, before the current Middle East war, Iran sought to “conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland,” according to ABC News.

This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people. They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip. The email even states the tip was based on *unverified* intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story! WHY? TO BE CLEAR: No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.

Chilling photos show the tense moments President Trump and Vice President Vance orchestrated the monumental strikes on Iran while hundreds of miles apart. Trump, wearing a “USA” cap, led discussions from Mar-a-Lago with his national security team, pictures shared by the White House show. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, joined the president in monitoring the mission. Vance oversaw a second cohort of officials from the Situation Room in DC, which was dialed in to the Mar-a-Lago operations. Seated at the head of...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared to be in disbelief on Wednesday when CBS News White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe asked for examples of when President Donald Trump had been wrongly accused of racism. O’Keefe cited Trump’s response to the death of civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, in which Trump said he had been “falsely and consistently called a racist.” Leavitt said that her office was prepared to provide a “plethora of examples” of Democrats and the left-wing media accusing Trump of racism. “Yesterday, in his statement about Jesse Jackson, the president said, ‘despite the fact that I’m falsely...

President Donald Trump has deleted a controversial video that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. Thursday evening, Trump posted a video with baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that included a short clip at the end of the Obamas’ faces superimposed on apes’ bodies. The video was furiously criticized by members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, members of the media, and other political commentators as racist. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the post as simply sharing an “Internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of...

The White House deleted a meme video posted on President Trump’s Truth Social that depicted former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as apes — after a prominent GOP senator called the clip the “most racist thing I’ve seen” and demanded it be taken down. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt initially defended the post and accused critics of fomenting “fake outrage” — but the video was taken down a little before noon Friday. A White House official added that a staffer had “erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the highest-ranking black...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a briefing Monday afternoon to, in part, distill the latest on the Trump administration's plans to bring law and order to Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was the first official White House press briefing since Saturday's shooting of leftist protester Alex Pretti by a Customs and Border Patrol agent, and the weekend's events were clearly top of mind for everyone in the briefing room. Leavitt spoke first of the administration's disgust for the efforts of Democrats and hard-left agitators to disrupt "the will of the people;" President Trump has spoken previously of his dismay at...

The Ohio nurse who wished White House Press Secretary to suffer a severe 4th degree tear during childbirth has been fired. In a viral video, the nurse, identified as Chanda Petrey-Czaruk, graphically wished that Leavitt suffer traumatic injuries during childbirth. “My wish for Karoline Leavitt, she is pregnant with a baby girl,” she says in the video, “and I truly do hope that baby is so healthy. I hope she is healthy and headstrong.” “So headstrong, in fact, that as she is emerging into this world, through her (censored for vulgarity) that she tears her from bow to fu**ing stern....

Meet Chanda Petrey-Czaruk, the Vice President of @HomeFirstChoice in Ohio. She posted a video wishing for Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to experience traumatic injuries during childbirth. This woman is in charge of a home health care company and is a registered nurse in Ohio. Terrifying that activists like this are in the medical field. She needs to have her license revoked.

BREAKING - The Secret Service are finally taking threats from leftists encouraging violence online seriously, as they showed up at the home of prominent leftist agitator Jamie Bonkiewicz after she called for Press Sec Karoline Leavitt to be killed on television. Now arrest her.

Secret Service discovered item during security sweep ahead of president's departure from Mar-a-LagoA suspicious object discovered during a security sweep at Palm Beach International Airport ahead of President Donald Trump’s departure from Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Sunday prompted the U.S. Secret Service to adjust the presidential motorcade route, the White House said. The discovery did not disrupt Trump’s travel schedule, officials said, as agents evaluated the item and made security adjustments out of an abundance of caution. "During advance sweeps of PBI Airport, a suspicious object was discovered by USSS," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "A further investigation...

BABY NEWS! Congratulations to White House Press Secretary @PressSec! Today, Karoline Leavitt announced her family is growing.

Standing at the podium in the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was, instead of answering questions about the Trump administration, answering questions about her own family. The mother of Leavitt’s nephew was detained by ICE this week. Bruna Caroline Ferreira, “a criminal illegal alien from Brazil,” allegedly overstayed a tourist visa that expired in 1999 according to the Department of Homeland Security. No doubt an embarrassing moment for the usually forthright Leavitt, it also crystallized how the shockwaves of Trump’s immigration are being felt across America. Now, I’m an upstanding citizen, thank you very much. I can’t say I...

Looks like Morning Joe forgot to lug along the seven-second-delay machine when it moved from MSNBC to MS NOW. Back in 2008, we noted that Morning Joe had instituted the seven-second delay two days after Joe Scarborough dropped an F-bomb. Scarborough went potty mouth again today. It came in response to Speaker Mike Johnson's and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's comments on the video released by six congressional Democrats telling members of the US military they can refuse to obey illegal orders. [snip] Scarborough said: "He lies so pretty. I mean, it's too easy for him to lie." Willie...

JUST IN: The Trump White House has caught reporters SPYING on Karoline Leavitt, putting their ear to Leavitt’s office door during sensitive conversation with CABINET secretaries. As a result: “We’ve had to chase reporters down who started strolling into restricted areas towards the Oval. Total absence of boundaries.” The press acted like jackals and truly abused their privileges. This is what they get.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and several Democratic lawmakers came under fire this week after circulating a misleading clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s remarks about a renovation project at the White House. The edited video falsely suggested that President Donald Trump’s “main priority” was a ballroom construction project, despite clear context showing the statement referred only to ongoing renovation efforts, not national priorities. The controversy began Thursday during a White House press briefing, when a reporter asked Leavitt, “In addition to the ballroom and the Rose Garden patio, is the president looking at any other renovations or significant...
