Pence Spokesman Leaving Vice President's Office for Politics Job

Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary is resigning to work as an outside advocate for President Donald Trump and Pence, he said.

Marc Lotter, Pence’s top spokesman, said he’ll leave in about two weeks. The decision was made with the support of Pence, he said. It hasn’t yet been determined which organization he’ll work for in Trump’s political orbit, he said.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to support and discuss the president’s and vice president’s accomplishments and agenda in my new role as a spokesperson on their political efforts,” Lotter said in an interview.

His departure was reported earlier by Axios.
