Official: Trump Chooses Conservative Commentator Katie Zakaria as White House Press Secretary

A White House official said on Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump has chosen conservative commentator Katie Zakaria to be the next White House press secretary.

She will replace Caroline Leavitt, who left the post at the end of August after the birth of her second child.

It is not yet known whether Zakaria has accepted the position.

Zakaria previously served as an official spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, and currently works as a communications adviser for the Trump Media & Technology Group, the company that owns the president’s social network, 'Truth Social'.
