'It's all because of Democrats': Leavitt clarifies Trump remarks on firings ‘taking place right now’
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the media Monday morning, days after a judge blocked multiple deployments of the National Guard into Portland. Most of the press conference was focused on the ongoing government shutdown and international tensions regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. Leavitt didn't directly address Portland as part of her written remarks but took some questions afterwards.
