Conservative commentator Katie Zacharia has been selected to serve as United States President Donald Trump’s next press secretary, according to administration sources. A White House source confirmed to reporters on Friday that the high-profile position has officially been offered to Zacharia.

The press secretary role has remained vacant since former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped down from the position in August. Discussions surrounding Zacharia's potential appointment remain ongoing as the administration prepares to fill the long-standing vacancy in its communications team.
