Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, sparked controversy after sharing a heated text exchange with a reporter who questioned her about Donald Trump's planned meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest. Leavitt responded to the reporter's inquiry with a dismissive remark and later accused him of bias, calling him a 'far left hack' in a series of messages. The upcoming meeting between Trump and Putin is set to take place in Hungary, a location with symbolic significance due to past agreements regarding Ukraine's sovereignty. Leavitt's combative tone has drawn criticism from media outlets, with some describing her behavior as emblematic of the current administration's approach to the press. Trump has publicly praised Leavitt for her assertiveness, while the reporter involved has a history of challenging the president.
