Trump’s Incoming Press Sec Claims WH Reporters Are Saying ‘Off the Record’ They’re ‘Excited’ He Won

Karoline Leavitt, who will serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s press secretary, claimed on Fox News Thursday that reporters are telling her “off the record” they can’t wait for Trump to take office.

Leavitt said White House press pool reporters had expressed to her they had grown tired of not having “access” to President Joe Biden and his press secretaries during his term in office.

On Fox & Friends, Leavitt was welcomed by hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones, and Brian Kilmeade and asked how she was preparing to be the face of the second Trump administration.

Earhardt asked, “How’s it going? How are you preparing for it?”

Leavitt said she had been doing a great deal of “reading and researching” as well as “utilizing the brilliant minds we have coming into this cabinet.”

“We have a lot of problems as a country, and President Trump is going to take strong action,” she added.

Leavitt also praised Trump for being a “great boss” she can call any time she needs to.

“I have a direct relationship with President Trump,” she said. “I can call him. He will answer. I’ve been working for him now for a couple of years. So, he’s a great boss to work for.”

Doocy then said, “This is going to be such a change of pace from the last four years, because when the people in the briefing room ask actual questions, they get something read out of a binder, and it is not sometimes accurate, and sometimes it’s just flat-out lie.” Leavitt replied:

Yeah, absolutely. There’s certainly been a lack of transparency over the past four years. If you talk to reporters off the record, they will tell you they are excited that President Trump will be back in the Oval Office because they know how much access they had to him and his press secretaries in his first term.
