White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt resigns to spend more time with family.

President Donald Trump's departure from Turkey last month sparked a conspiracy theory that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt resigned due to being left on a decoy plane.

Claims of Betrayal

The Iranian embassy in South Africa posted a photo of Leavitt on social media, commending her resignation and accusing Trump of 'betraying' her. The post claimed that Trump had sent Leavitt on the decoy flight while he escaped in a catering truck.

However, the White House has denied these claims, stating that Leavitt was not on the trip.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman also confirmed that neither she nor Leavitt were on the flight.

The Real Reason for Leavitt's Resignation

Leavitt announced her resignation earlier this week, citing a desire to spend more time with her family after giving birth to her second child in May. She stated that she could not balance her duties as Press Secretary with the demands of being a mother.

The White House has confirmed that Leavitt will be leaving her position at the end of the month and will remain a vocal advocate for the Republican Party.

Trump's Response

President Trump praised Leavitt's decision, stating that she would be one of his top outside advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party.

The incident has sparked debate over the legitimacy of the threat against President Trump, which was reportedly initiated by Israeli intelligence. However, some CIA officials have disputed this claim.
