White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson is leaving her role, The Hill reports
The White House deputy press secretary, Abigail Jackson, plans to depart her position, according to a report that cites her statement on X.
White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson is set to leave her role, The Hill reported on July 29, citing a message Jackson posted on X.
The Hill said Jackson’s departure follows her service in the White House communications office in the deputy press secretary position. Jackson wrote on X that it had been “a tremendous honor” to work in President Donald Trump’s administration and “alongside” colleagues “on behalf of the American people,” according to the report.
The Hill’s article did not specify the exact last day of Jackson’s tenure or name a replacement. It also did not describe whether her move would involve any policy or legal responsibilities beyond her new job in communications.
Jackson is reported to be moving to OnMessage Public Strategies. The Hill’s account characterized the change as a new professional role outside the White House.
Because the report relies on Jackson’s posted statement and The Hill’s account of her plans, an official White House personnel announcement confirming her departure date and next assignment was not included in the available material.
The White House press office continues to operate on a regular schedule even as deputy roles turn over, with communications staff typically coordinating day-to-day media interactions, written statements, and press briefings.
No additional official confirmation of the specific timing of Jackson’s exit or the internal transition plan for her deputy press secretary duties is reflected in the record reviewed for this story.
Why It Matters
- Deputy press secretaries play a direct role in coordinating the administration’s daily media communications, including written releases and coordination around press engagements.
- Personnel changes can affect how quickly communications workflows adjust, particularly if there is a transition period before a replacement is announced.
- The lack of an accompanying official White House personnel release, in the available record, means the timing and internal handoff details may require confirmation.
