She also discussed tense conversations involving other world leaders and said Trump\u2019s private remarks often match what he later says publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Newsmax host Greg Kelly sharply criticized Leavitt for discussing the private meetings publicly, calling it a \u201cbreach of trust\u201d and accusing her of \u201cgossiping\u201d about conversations involving the president and world leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leavitt has defended her account as an explanation of how Trump operates behind closed doors. Trump himself has not publicly responded to Kelly\u2019s criticism in the reporting reviewed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question now is why Leavitt decided to share these private details\u2014and whether people see it as transparency or something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=newsner&#038;dnt=true&#038;embedId=twitter-widget-0&#038;features=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%3D%3D&#038;frame=false&#038;hideCard=false&#038;hideThread=false&#038;id=2104017110250791080&#038;lang=en&#038;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com%2Fnews%2Fkaroline-leavitt-brutally-slammed-after-gossiping-about-trumps-private-meetings%2F&#038;sessionId=a6b73fde9072df4701a84f29d522f97c8a3502e0&#038;siteScreenName=newsner&#038;theme=light&#038;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&#038;width=550px\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing criticism after sharing behind-the-scenes details about Donald Trump\u2019s private conversations with foreign leaders during an appearance on Sean Hannity\u2019s podcast.
