Karoline Leavitt’s reported book could reveal private Trump moments and White House tensions
WASHINGTON, DC: Karoline Leavitt may be preparing to share more details about her time in Donald Trump’s White House.
The former press secretary is reportedly shopping a book proposal with publishers, with the project potentially covering her relationship with the media, her experiences in the administration and private moments involving the president.
While the book’s title, release date and publisher remain unknown, Leavitt’s recent comments about private White House interactions have already drawn criticism from some Trump supporters.
Karoline Leavitt’s reported book on Trump White House
According to sources cited by Page Six, Leavitt is circulating a book proposal that would explore her time as the youngest White House press secretary in US history.
The details remain unclear, and there has been no confirmation that a publisher has acquired the project.
However, the reported proposal could give Leavitt an opportunity to share her account of working in Trump’s administration and dealing with the White House press corps.
Leavitt stepped down from her role as press secretary in August to spend more time with her children and husband, Nicholas Riccio.
She is now returning to her previous role at MAGA Inc, a political action committee that supports Trump. The White House has yet to announce a permanent replacement for her.
Karoline Leavitt reveals Trump White House media interactions
Leavitt recently offered a glimpse into her experiences with the media during an appearance on Sean Hannity’s podcast, 'Hang Out with Sean Hannity.'
She claimed that some reporters had privately apologized to her after asking questions they believed were unfair.
"There's been times reporters have even said to me, 'I'm sorry I had to ask that today, you know, my bosses really wanted me to ask that,'" she said.
Leavitt added, "They know it's an unfair question, but they're not in control of their own, like, livelihood. They are dictated by the editors and the execs at some of these companies."
Her comments suggested that some of the exchanges during White House briefings did not necessarily reflect reporters’ private views.
As press secretary, Leavitt regularly faced questions from journalists while defending the administration’s policies.
Trump’s private lunch with Keir Starmer sparks backlash
Leavitt also described a private lunch involving Trump and former UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
According to her account, Trump began criticizing Starmer’s policies while senior staffers watched.
"We're sitting around the table, and we're all enjoying lunch, and we're in this beautiful place, and the president just starts ripping into him for his policies," she recalled.
Leavitt said Trump told Starmer, "Your policies here are so stupid, you need to close your borders," before adding, "You need to deport these people you have in your country. I know your country and I know your people, they hate what you're doing."

She also recalled exchanging a look with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller as the conversation continued.
"Starmer's just sitting there… in his house, in his country," Leavitt said. "We're not even at the White House, we're not even on our own territory, and he's just… I remember Stephen Miller and I looking at each other like, 'Oh boy, here we go.'"
Her account drew criticism from Newsmax host Greg Kelly, who accused her of sharing private conversations involving the president.
"Unbelievable. So now that she's an ex press secretary… Leavitt gossips about private meetings the President had with world leaders?" Kelly wrote on social media.
He later criticized her decision to share the anecdote during the midterm election season, calling it "A breach of trust: the President's and the Nation's."
