WASHINGTON, DC: All eyes were on Karoline Leavitt, 27, as she took the podium at the White House briefing room for her debut press conference as President Donald Trump's press secretary on January 28, Tuesday.

Leavitt made waves in the political world as the youngest-ever White House Press Secretary.
