Jen Psaki to Leave White House This Spring

White House press secretary Jen Psaki will leave her job this spring and join MSNBC as a pundit and host of her own show on the streaming service Peacock.

Someone with direct knowledge has confirmed the news to NPR and Axios on Friday. However, the White House had no announcement to make about Psaki's future.

"We don't have anything to confirm about Jen's length of planned service or any consideration about future plans," a White House official said. "Jen is here and working hard every day on behalf of the President to get you the answers to the questions that you have, and that's where her focus is."

Last May, Psaki announced plans to resign to spend more time with her family. “I think it’s going to be time for somebody else to have this job in a year from now or about a year from now,” she said in an interview with CNN’s David Axelrod, her former colleague in the Obama administration.

“I don’t want to miss moments. I don’t want to miss things, and I’m very mindful of that as well,” she added. “It’s a great job. It will be hard, but I also never thought I’d be here, and I also love my kids a lot.”
