Former White House press secretary Jay Carney speaks at the daily briefing at the White House in Washington, in this October 15, 2013, file photo.
Carney, 49, resigned as President Barack Obama's press secretary in June. He is a former Washington bureau chief for Time magazine and began as Obama's spokesman in early 2011.
Carney's experience as a journalist and White House press secretary 'make him an invaluable voice for the network,' CNN Washington bureau chief Sam Feist said in a statement.
Carney will make his first appearance on the news network on Wednesday during coverage of Obama's 9 p.m. EDT (0100 GMT on Thursday) address on the Islamic State militant group, Feist said.
Carney was replaced as press secretary by his deputy, Josh Earnest.
