Trump offers White House press job to UFC chief Dana White
What's new: An aide later described the post as a joke as Trump struggles to replace two recent press secretaries.
President Donald Trump publicly offered White House press secretary duties to UFC CEO Dana White in a Truth Social post, praising him as a fighter and urging him to take the job. White House communications director Steven Cheung amplified the post online, but a person familiar with the matter said the UFC executive rejected the idea. White declined to answer questions at a Saturday news conference and said only that he planned to fly to Washington on Monday to meet Trump. The episode comes as Trump searches for a new spokesperson after Karoline Leavitt left in August and Katie Zacharia lasted five days before being fired after a chaotic briefing.
