Katie Zacharia, a communications adviser for US President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform, has been offered the White House press secretary position after Karoline Leavitt left the role in August, a White House official said on Friday.

Zacharia did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but if she accepts the role, she would fill a critical role in the Trump administration before next month's midterm congressional elections.

The New York Times first reported the news.

Zacharia briefly served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security before departing in March.

According to her LinkedIn page, the conservative commentator is a senior communications adviser for Truth Social and the Trump Media & Technology Group.

Zacharia previously employed as conservative group legal adviser

Zacharia previously worked as a legal adviser for Fix California, a conservative group that aims to address what it described as "the left’s stranglehold" on state politics.

The group was founded by Richard Grenell, who has served as Trump's envoy to Venezuela and is the interim president and executive director of the Kennedy Center in Washington.
