Jen Psaki criticizes outgoing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, saying Leavitt is a “liar” and alleging she did not face many difficult questions during her time in the role. Psaki’s comments focus on how she characterizes the tone and dynamics of White House press briefings under Leavitt.
According to the reports, Psaki describes the briefing room as becoming a “personal safe space,” and she frames it as being dominated by supportive figures. The New York Post similarly reports that Psaki argues Leavitt tried to reshape the briefing environment, portraying it as less adversarial than it should be. The accounts differ mainly in wording and emphasis, but both present Psaki’s remarks as a pointed critique of Leavitt’s conduct as press secretary.
