A Trump-Plot Question Sends Karoline Leavitt Into A Sudden, Jaw-Dropping Tailspin

During a chaotic press briefing on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced intense scrutiny from journalists regarding attempts by President Donald Trump's officials to pressure Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert about the controversial Epstein files.As Leavitt sought to defend the administration’s actions, her arguments quickly fell apart, leading to a disordered exchange that culminated in a notable slip that sent the room into upheaval.The alleged confrontation took place in the White House Situation Room, a venue typically reserved for critical national security deliberations, not for pressuring members of Trump's own party.Boebert, one of only four House Republicans supporting a petition for the release of these files, reportedly resisted efforts from Trump's administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.When questioned, Leavitt heatedly insisted that meeting with Congress members exemplified transparency, ironically overlooking the implications of using the Situation Room for such discussions.
