The annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is here and Washington is again beset by navel-gazing — that much is not a surprise. But something seems different this year. It’s not just that the president is skipping the affair. It’s not just that the relationship between the White House and the free press is combative. It’s that there’s been a fundamental change in the way the administration approaches the media. And in that, one woman plays a starring role: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. POLITICO national politics correspondent Adam Wren joins Playbook deputy editor Zack Stanton to discuss his new profile of her, how the 20-something emerged as a prominent member of Team Trump and what it all means for Washington.
