Trump’s Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, spoke to reporters at the White House on Thursday, May 29. Her appearance came just a day after Elon Musk announced he would be leaving his role as a special government employee. Musk’s departure marks a significant change in the White House’s approach to technology and innovation.
Leavitt’s briefing also addressed ongoing challenges the Trump administration is facing from the judiciary. This week, several activist judges have blocked key parts of the president’s agenda. Courts have halted the president’s tariffs, ended the Biden-era migrant parole program, and prevented Harvard from enrolling foreign students.
These legal obstacles add to the pressure on the administration as it tries to implement its policies. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary, particularly regarding immigration and trade issues.
As the White House navigates these challenges, it remains to be seen how the administration will adapt and respond to the changing landscape.
