President Donald Trump has offered Katie Zacharia a position as the new administration press secretary, a Trump administration official confirmed.
An official confirmed to The Epoch Times on Friday that she was offered the position, responding to reports from anonymous sources earlier in the day.
Zacharia has worked since June as a top communications adviser for Trump Media, which owns the president’s social media platform, Truth Social, according to her LinkedIn social media account. She also worked for the Department of Homeland Security for two months earlier this year.
If she takes the role, Zacharia would be replacing former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who left the administration in August. Leavitt has since taken a job at Fox News.
