Former White House press secretary Dana Perino commended the performance of 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary in history, who briefed reporters for the first time on Tuesday. Perino predicted that Leavitt will 'be great' and praised her access to the president. Leavitt made history as the youngest person to hold the position of White House press secretary and will hold her second briefing on Friday. She challenged the press not to lie and vowed to tell the truth to the American people. Leavitt also made controversial statements about immigrants and the egg shortage.
