White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt resigned after defending the federal worker buyout program,

which offers early retirement or voluntary separation to federal employees.

Critics argue that the program targets those opposed to the Trump administration and could harm

government efficiency by removing experienced workers,

Leavitt denied these claims, insisting the initiative aims to reduce costs and streamline government operations.

Despite her defense, concerns about the program’s impact on federal agencies and employee morale persist.Leavitt’s resignation adds further intrigue to the ongoing debate.
