Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki criticised outgoing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on MS NOW, saying Leavitt had faced few difficult questions in the briefing room and accusing her of repeatedly making false statements. The comments came as Leavitt announced she was leaving the Trump administration, prompting wider attention to her tenure and to the relationship between the White House and the press corps.

Psaki said she could recall only limited instances in which Leavitt had been seriously challenged during briefings, arguing that journalists had not sufficiently pressed her on disputed claims. The article presents Psaki’s remarks as a sharp partisan critique; it also notes that White House correspondents had widely praised Leavitt after her departure announcement.
