  • Reports emerged Monday that former White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is attempting to reclaim her position. Sources told The New York Post she has been working to charm President Trump and Chief of Staff Stephen Miller for a second chance.
  • Zacharia served as the face of the White House for only five days last month before being fired, making her the shortest-serving press secretary in history following a widely criticized debut.
  • Her performance faced scrutiny after a contentious Fox News interview where host Sean Hannity pressed her on legal credentials, asking 'Why only three questions in 14 minutes?' regarding her failed California bar exam.
  • Trump jokingly announced Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White as the new press secretary last week after a 'very bad press day,' though White later conceded he does not want the role.
  • Zacharia explicitly denied the rumors on Monday, calling claims she is auditioning for the role 'utterly fake' and labeling outlets pushing anonymous reports as 'complicit in the fake news machine.
