USA Today reports:
Sarah Sanders, who as President Donald Trump’s press secretary became the public face of the White House through some of the administration’s most contentious chapters, is leaving her post. Sanders, who worked for Trump’s 2016 campaign before being elevated to press secretary in 2017, announced the news in tweet on Thursday.
The daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sanders was the third woman to hold the role of White House press secretary and the second person appointed to the job during Trump’s presidency, following Sean Spicer. Like other press secretaries, Sanders quickly became one of the most recognized names within the White House.
After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas….

Considering Sarah Sanders hasn’t held a press briefing in three months, will anyone notice that she’s gone when the next liar comes in? https://t.co/PUFzZbEEPd
