UFC CEO Dana White declined Trump's White House press secretary offer: Report
Donald Trump described Dana White as a “violent fighter and warrior” and asked him to take up the position.
UFC CEO Dana White turned down an offer from President Donald Trump to become White House press secretary, according to a CNN report. Trump proposed the position on social media, describing White as a "violent fighter and warrior" and suggesting he bring six current and former UFC fighters as assistants. White, who was in London for a boxing event, said he planned to meet Trump in Washington on Monday, but later told reporters he would travel to the capital to meet with the president.
The White House press secretary position became vacant after Karoline Leavitt left the administration in August, with her replacement Katie Zacharia serving less than a week. Democrats have gained control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, promising investigations into the administration.
