Kellyanne Conway, President Trump's long-time White House counsellor, has announced her departure from the White House Sunday evening.

"I will be transitioning from the White House at the end of this month. George is also making changes. We disagree about plenty but we are united on what matters most: the kids," so Conway in a statement posted to Twitter. "This is completely my choice and my voice. In time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama," Conway ended her statement.

Her husband George Conway, a conservative lawyer and a frequent prominent Trump critic, announced he's leaving the anti-Trump "Lincoln Project" minutes later to "devote more time to family matters," but added that he will "continue to support the Lincoln Project and its mission. Passionately."
