Karoline Leavitt to Join Fox News as Contributor in November

Karoline Leavitt is moving from the White House briefing room to Fox News. President Donald Trump's former White House press secretary will join the network as a contributor, according to The Hill.

News18 reported that the move comes months after she left the Trump administration. The supplied coverage does not give an exact departure date.

The announcement arrived against an awkward backdrop. On October 5, The Daily Beast reported that Leavitt had landed the job barely 24 hours after Trump spent the morning criticizing Fox News.

Reports published October 5 identified the position and its timing. The Hill described it as a contributor role beginning next month, while CBS gave the start date as November 1. News18 specified that she would be an on air contributor.

The move also continues a connection between Trump's former press operation and the network. NYT Politics reported that Leavitt is the second of his former press secretaries to join Fox News.

Leavitt has accepted the position but has not yet begun the new role. Her scheduled first day is November 1, according to CBS.

The supplied reports identify her as a contributor, not the host of a newly announced program. They do not specify which shows she will appear on or how often.

The next concrete step is Leavitt's scheduled November 1 start. Her first appearances will clarify how Fox News plans to use its new contributor; the supplied coverage does not set out an appearance schedule.
