Karoline Leavitt would not take a question from a reporter representing Mike Lindell’s TV network who made waves recently for a question about Donald Trump‘s health.
Cara Castronuova, 45, had her colleagues in stitches by talking up President Trump’s physique during a daily press briefing Friday.
But by Wednesday, it appeared that Leavitt ignored Castronuova during the White House press briefing after introducing Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five who was brutally raped and murdered while hiking a popular trail.
Leavitt turned it to the floor: ‘Does anyone have any questions for Patty or for me?’
A woman in a pink can clearly be seen raising her hand along with at least one reporter next to her. The woman in pink was identified as Castronuova.
‘I have a question,’ she can be heard saying.
‘No,’ responded Leavitt, before again asking for anybody and leaving the briefing room.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House, Castronuova and LindellTV for comment.

Cara Castronuova, 45, was not picked on when she told Leavitt she had a question
Last week, Castronuova caused some laughs in the room when she asked a follow up to questions about Trump’s recent physical.
After answering ‘yes’, the 27-year-old called on Castronuova who immediately asked whether the White House would consider releasing the president’s fitness plan.
‘He actually looks healthier than ever before,’ Castronuova, a former fitness trainer who won two Golden Gloves as an amateur boxer, which saw a grin rapidly form on Leavitt’s face.
‘[He looks] healthier than he did eight years ago. And I’m sure everybody in this room could agree,’ the athlete-turned-journalist insisted.
‘Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy?’
As the room erupted in laughter, the correspondent she continued: ‘And is he eating less McDonald’s?’
‘I can confirm that the president is in very good shape, as you see on a near-daily basis here,’ she said, ignoring the inquiry about health nut RFK.
The briefing ended on an even lighter note.

‘In that vein, thank God it’s Friday,’ she smiled, calling the briefing to a close.
‘It’s been a very long and busy week here at the White House… we will see you all on Monday.’
Castronuova, years after appearing as a trainer on The Biggest Loser, was named LindellTV’s Chief White House Correspondent last January.
The conservative broadcast platform was founded by MyPillow maker Mike Lindell back in April 2021, and can be found on lindelltv.com.
Other on-air talents there include former New York Governor – and Trump lawyer – Rudy Giuliani.
Each have their own shows with the network, which secured a spot in the coveted White House press briefing room in February.
At the time, Lindell – a well-known and vocal Trump ally – praised the move as ‘game-changing.’
Its parent company, Mike Lindell Media Corp., bills its broadcasts as ‘a superior First-Amendment-friendly alternative to highly censored Big Tech options.’

In 2004, Castronuova starred as one of the head celebrity trainers on Season 11 of NBC’s The Biggest Loser. She was named LindellTV’s Chief White House Correspondent last January
Meanwhile, CEO Lindell is facing defamation lawsuits from two electronic voting firms for conspiracy-fueled comments he aired about their machines during the 2020 election, claiming they were rigged against a then-voted-out Trump.
Castronuova made her debut on the White House floor on February 13 by posing another positive question to Health Secretary RFK.
The inquiry, however, had little to do with their common knowledge on matters such as fitness and health.
Instead, it honed in on Democrats’ pushback against the appointment – after which she was sure to offer her ‘congratulations.’
Leavitt invited Morin to slap back at critics of Trump‘s deportation policy by bringing a ‘special guest’ to her briefing on Wednesday.
The administration added the event to its schedule after Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen landed in El Salvador to try to visit Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man and father of three who who was mistakenly deported along with dozens of other migrants on March 15.
Leavitt slammed Van Hollen’s trip as ‘appalling and sad.’ She repeated the administration’s claim that Garcia is a gang member.
‘Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen rushed to Dulles Airport this morning to fly to El Salvador, potentially using taxpayer dollars to demand the release of deported illegal alien, MS 13 terrorist,’ she said.
‘The Democrats and the media in this room have continually and wrongly labeled Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia as a Maryland father. There is no Maryland father.’
Morin blasted Van Hollen for his trip, saying the ‘senator from Maryland who didn’t even acknowledge — or barely acknowledged my daughter and the brutal death that she endured, leaving her five children without a mother’ chose to ‘use my tax money to fly to El Salvador to bring back a person who isn’t even an American citizen.’
