Karoline Leavitt joins Fox News as contributor

Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will join Fox News as an on-air contributor beginning Nov. 1, The Korea Times reported.

The move adds another former Trump White House press secretary to Fox News and comes after Leavitt left the White House role at the end of August.

The Korea Times reported that Fox News said Leavitt, 29, will appear across the network’s platforms as an on-air contributor.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said, "Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape."

Leavitt said she looked forward "to bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defined my tenure, to Fox’s millions of viewers across their many platforms."

According to The Korea Times, Leavitt was the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary. Before that role, she was press secretary for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and made an unsuccessful run for Congress from New Hampshire in 2022 at age 25.

President Donald Trump described Leavitt as one of his "most trusted aides," The Korea Times reported. Leavitt said when she left the White House that she wanted to spend more time with her two children; her second child, Viviana, was born in May and she also has a 2-year-old son.

The Korea Times reported that other former White House press officials are already at Fox News, including Kayleigh McEnany, who joined in 2021, and Dana Perino, a former press secretary for President George W. Bush.

The Korea Times also reported that Trump has recently criticized Fox News on Truth Social over rally coverage, while a judge has issued a temporary restraining order against his effort to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds.
