WATCH LIVE: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Delivers Press Briefing – 1 PM ET

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivers press briefing on April 8, 2025

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is set to brief members of the media at 1 pm ET today.

This comes one day after the Court of International Trade in New York on Wednesday said President Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a three-judge panel ruled President Trump exceeded his authority to unilaterally impose tariffs under IEEPA.

This is despite US District Court Judge T. Kent Wetherell suggesting last week that President Trump has the authority to impose tariffs under IEEPA.

The Trump administration immediately appealed the ruling on Wednesday.

On the radar, too, is President Trump's ongoing crackdown on Harvard University for DEI, toleration of campus violence, and collaboration with authoritarian foreign regimes and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is expected to be stonewalled in the Senate. President Trump addressed the ongoing fight with Harvard and criticisms against the Big Beautiful Bill during an Oval Office press conference on Wednesday.

Today's briefing also comes amid not-so-new revelations about Biden's health and cognitive decline as reported in far-left CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson's new book, Original Sin.

Additionally, the President signed a slew of pardons and commutations on Wednesday, as The Gateway Pundit reported. Some of those pardoned include reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, Army Lieutenant Mark Bashaw, former NY GOP Rep. Michael Grimm,  and rapper NBA Youngboy.

Leavitt is expected to address reporters' questions on all of these issues and more at 1 pm.

Jordan Conradson, formerly TGP’s Arizona correspondent, is currently on assignment in Washington DC. Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona's elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth. TGP and Jordan finally gained access after suing Maricopa County, America's fourth largest county, and winning at the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Conradson looks forward to bringing his aggressive style of journalism to the Swamp.
