Alyssa Farah is leaving her post as White House communications director after serving in President Donald Trump’s administration for more than three years.
She will be leaving to “pursue new opportunities,” according to her statement.
Farah called her time in the Trump administration “the honor of a lifetime” and said she is “deeply proud” of what they were able to accomplish.
“Under this Administration, the ISIS caliphate was destroyed, American hostages were returned home, NATO is stronger than ever, we’ve brokered historic Middle East peace deals, and I was on the ground in Kabul for the announcement of a historic peace deal between the Afghan Government and the Taliban aimed at ending America’s longest war,” Farah said.
She added, “We delivered historic tax cuts, putting money back into the pockets of hard working Americans. We rebuilt the judiciary with Constitution abiding independent jurists and we worked to create the most inclusive economy in American history – that gives every citizen a real chance to achieve the American dream.”

Farah expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to work with the team on Operation Warp Speed “who helped usher in a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine in record time that will save countless thousands of lives.”
She concluded, “I’m forever grateful to have had the opportunity to serve my country.”
Farah’s resignation comes as the president continues to refuse to concede the election.
Trump is adamant widespread voter fraud contributed to his loss.
Attorney General William Barr said the Department of Justice (DOJ) had not discovered evidence of voter fraud.
A reporter asked Trump Thursday if he is still confident in Barr, as IJR previously reported.
“Ask me that in a number of weeks from now,” Trump said.
He continued, “They should be looking at all of this fraud. This is not civil. He thought it was civil. This is not civil. This is criminal stuff. This is very bad criminal stuff.”
