The White House rebutted reports that Elon Musk would leave the administration before the end of his 130-day special government employee appointement.

Elon Musk will likely wrap up his work on the Department of Government Efficiency at the end of May due to his employment as a "special government employee."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is holding a press briefing at 12 p.m. The briefing comes as the trade wars launched by President Donald Trump continue to escalate. The president promised a “Liberation Day” coming on April 2 when he implements tariffs on goods imported to the U.S.

“The White House was like, ‘Where the f--- is the statement?‘” a White House official involved in the response to the measles outbreak told Axios. “CNN was blaring this chyron about how Kennedy was silent, and there was just nothing from the department because of Stefanie.”

Musk is considered a "special government employee" which means he can only work for the government for 130 days in a one year period. This means Musk will need to leave federal service by May 30.

The White House plans to take over the seating chart for the press briefing room and will likely boot some legacy media outlets farther back, according to a report. It’s the Trump administration’s latest effort to shake up traditional media’s grip on White House coverage.

The Trump administration is planning another encroachment into the day-to-day arrangements of the journalists who cover it.

The White House considers the Signal chat leak case "closed," press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media Monday.

Another major international law firm has reached a deal with President Donald Trump to dedicate at least $100 million in free legal services to causes such as supporting veterans and combating antisemitism.

The photojournalist in question, Evan Vucci, was barred from the White House press pool, a small group of journalists with privileged access to the president, alongside his Associated Press colleagues.
