She is to become the new White House spokeswoman

Katie Zacharia currently serves as a communications advisor at Trump Media and Technology Group, the company that runs the Truth Social platform. She is a conservative commentator on public life and a frequent guest on Fox News.

She briefly worked at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a spokeswoman for then-Secretary Kristi Noem.

Now - as reported by The New York Times, citing two informants - she is to become the new press secretary of the White House.

Zacharia is expected to replace Karoline Leavitt, the previous spokeswoman, who left the position at the end of August. US President Donald Trump announced that Leavitt was leaving the role to spend more time with his family.
