What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
White said Saturday that he plans to meet with Trump on Monday at the White House.
The role of White House press secretary has been vacant for three weeks, since Trump’s previous pick, the far-right commentator Katie Zacharia, was forced to resign after trying, and failing, to dodge questions about why she described herself as an attorney despite having failed the bar exam.
White, who has led the UFC for more than two decades, has been a close Trump ally and helped mobilise support for his 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump said White, a prominent supporter, "loves the idea" of taking the job but insisted he had not been serious about the prospect, describing the suggestion as "just a little fun."
