Just the News, The Center Square and The Epoch Times report that President Donald Trump has named Katie Zacharia as White House press secretary. Trump said on Truth Social that she will begin her term on Monday, Columbus Day, and hold an introductory news conference on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. She succeeds Karoline Leavitt, who left the administration in August after giving birth to her second child and is expected to join Fox News as a contributor, the reports say. The outlets say Zacharia previously served as a spokesperson and deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security and is a senior communications adviser at Truth Social. Trump called her a loyal and brilliant supporter.
