  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has appointed conservative commentator Katie Zacharia as his new White House press secretary, praising her as a loyal supporter and a devoted fan of his Make America Great Again movement. Zacharia, a lawyer and communications adviser to Trump's media company, will succeed Karoline Leavitt, who stepped down in August after becoming a prominent public face of the president's second administration. Trump expressed confidence in Zacharia's abilities and her relationship with the White House press corps, while she thanked Trump for the \"distinguished privilege\" of serving in the role.",
