US President Donald Trump has officially appointed Katie Zacharia as the new White House spokesperson, replacing Karoline Leavitt who resigned at the end of August. Zacharia's first press conference lasted less than a quarter of an hour, concluding after just a few minutes. Unlike traditional press conferences, Zacharia allowed only three questioners before concluding the session, citing President Trump's upcoming trip to Alaska. Her entire appearance lasted under 25 minutes.
Zacharia emphasized her intention to bring in "new media" from outside mainstream outlets, focusing on right-leaning media and those likely to ask government-friendly questions. During her opening, she first invited the right-wing online outlet "Breitbart." The newly appointed spokesperson appeared nervous at times, largely reading her opening statement and addressing her family in one instance instead of referring to her husband, President Trump.
Zacharia, known for her extreme conservatism and loyalty to Trump, has previously shown sympathies towards conspiracy theories. She was formally appointed to the White House press office role by Trump a few days ago. Previously serving as a television commentator, Zacharia is considered an extreme conservative and has shown ties to conspiracy theories in the past.
