‘Disgrace to Our Country’: Trump Threatens Ilhan Omar With Jail, Deportation

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott welcomed the appointment, pointing to Leavitt's extensive experience representing Trump during both his presidential campaign and his second administration. Her firsthand knowledge of White House operations and campaign communications was presented as a valuable perspective for the network's political coverage.

Leavitt also expressed enthusiasm about joining Fox News in an official capacity, describing the opportunity as a way to continue sharing her political perspectives with a large national audience. The new position will place her in a different professional role, allowing her to discuss political developments rather than speak on behalf of the federal government.
