Kellyanne Conway, a long-serving advisor to President Donald Trump known for sparring with reporters, announced Sunday she will step down to focus on her family. Conway, 53, has been at Trump's side since day one, managing his 2016 campaign that catapulted the reality TV star into the world's most powerful office. "I will be transitioning from the White House at the end of this month," she said in a statement. A lawyer and pollster by training, she also stuck out her White House role while a parade of other aides was forced out, quit or left in humiliation. In her statement, Conway described her time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as "heady" and "humbling" and said her departure was her call.
