Karoline Leavitt Is Latest Trump Administration Official to Join Fox News

Karoline Leavitt, the former Trump administration press secretary who spent much of her time chastising and denigrating the journalists who asked her questions, is joining one of the outlets that made some of the queries.

Leavitt will join Fox News Channel as a contributor, the network said Monday. Leavitt follows a well-trod path that has been walked on previously by people like Kayleigh McEnany, a former press secretary who also works for the Fox Corp.-backed media outlet, and Larry Kudrow, a former financial official who is a prominent host at Fox Business Network.

Other news networks have also sought out former White House officials. MS NOW relies on former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki as its regular 9 a.m. host, and features former Bush official Nicolle Wallace in a prominent late-afternoon showcase. George Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton White House official, is a prominent anchor at ABC News.

“Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape,” said Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, in a statement. “We look forward to her providing our audience with authentic and sharp insight across all Fox News Media platforms.”

Leavitt will start in her new role offering commentary and analysis on November 1.
