АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп гэр бүлийн шалтгаанаар ажлаасаа чөлөөлөгдөж буй хэвлэлийн төлөөлөгч Каролин Ливиттийн оронд Fox News-ийн сурвалжлагч Алексис МакАдамсыг томилох саналыг илэрхийлжээ.
Каролин Ливитт хоёр дахь хүүхдээ төрүүлснийхээ дараа гэр бүлдээ илүү их цаг зарцуулах шаардлагатай болсон тул энэ сарын сүүлээр албан тушаалаасаа чөлөөлөгдөх шийдвэр гаргасан юм. Тэрээр 2025 оны нэгдүгээр сард 27 настайдаа АНУ-ын түүхэн дэх хамгийн залуу хэвлэлийн төлөөлөгчөөр томилогдон ажиллаж байсан бөгөөд цаашид гадны зөвлөхийн хувиар ажиллах төлөвтэй байна.
Дональд Трамп Fox News-д өгсөн ярилцлагынхаа үеэр Алексис МакАдамсаас энэ албан тушаалыг сонирхож буй эсэхийг асууж, түүнийг уг ажлыг гүйцэтгэх чадвартай хэмээн үнэлжээ. Трамп өмнө нь өөрийн засаг захиргаанд Пит Хегсет болон Жанин Пирро зэрэг Fox News-ийн бусад хүмүүсийг томилж байсан туршлагатай юм.
Одоогоор Цагаан ордон шинэ хэвлэлийн төлөөлөгчийг яаравчлан томилохгүй байгаа бөгөөд хэвлэлийн товч мэдээллийг Төрийн нарийн бичгийн дарга Марко Рубио, Дэд ерөнхийлөгч Жэй Ди Вэнс нарын бүрэлдэхүүнтэй баг түр хугацаанд хариуцан ажиллахаар төлөвлөж байна.

President Donald Trump may have found his next White House press secretary during a Fox News interview.
In a one-on-one interview Sunday with Fox News correspondent Alexis McAdams, Trump suggested the reporter could replace Karoline Leavitt, who announced last week that she would leave the post to spend more time with her children.
“Is Karoline Leavitt replaceable?” McAdams asked the president. “No, she’s not,” Trump replied. “She’s standing right over there, and she’s done a great job.”
Trump said Leavitt, who recently returned from maternity leave following the birth of her second child, was more devoted to her family than to the White House.
“She likes her children more than she likes Trump. I’m very concerned about that,” he said.
McAdams then asked whether Trump had a replacement in mind.
“You,” Trump responded, looking directly at the reporter. “How about you?”
“She could do the job,” he continued. “What do you think, Karoline? I like it. I’ve always liked you. That’s why I’m doing this. I don’t do this that often.”
McAdams joined Fox News in 2021 and is based in New York City.
Throughout his second term in office, Trump has tapped several Fox News personalities to join the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro.
Trump announced on August 12 that Leavitt — who became the youngest White House press secretary in history when she took the role at age 27 in January 2025 — would depart at the end of the month.
“Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added that Leavitt would continue to serve as an outside advisor.
In a social media post of her own, Leavitt said serving under Trump had been “the honor and adventure of a lifetime.”
“The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary,” she added.
Trump was blindsided by Leavitt’s sudden decision to exit the White House, and he is in no rush to name a replacement, a White House official previously told The Independent.
A rotating group of administration officials – such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance — is expected to handle briefings in the meantime.
