Karoline Leavitt retakes traditional White House press office
Karoline Leavitt moved into the traditional press secretary’s roomy West Wing office — the room with a fireplace and view of the north driveway down the hall from the Oval Office — after Taylor Budowich, who had been using the space, left the administration this week. Leavitt, 28, the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary, will assume some of Budowich’s duties alongside communications director Steven Cheung; White House spokespeople declined to comment and CBS cites two sources.
