多名白宫官员向CNN透露，唐纳德·特朗普总统已任命曾短暂任职于国土安全部的保守派评论员凯蒂·扎卡里亚为新任白宫新闻秘书。
一位了解相关讨论的消息人士称，特朗普近期致电多位亲密盟友和顾问，包括前白宫新闻秘书卡洛琳·莱维特，征询其对扎卡里亚的评价。他还在最终敲定人选并向扎卡里亚发出任职邀请前，征求了莱维特的建议。
据一位知情人士透露，CNN已联系到扎卡里亚，她已于周五上午早些时候与特朗普一同在椭圆形办公室。
扎卡里亚的任命流程进展迅速。另一位知情人士表示，截至上周，她还未被纳入该职位的候选名单。
多位白宫官员称，在寻找莱维特的继任者期间，白宫一直纠结于知名度更高的人选，其中不少人此前曾批评过特朗普。高级官员曾多次缩小候选人范围，却发现候选人们曾发表过针对总统的负面言论，因此丧失了参选资格。
扎卡里亚经常做客福克斯新闻、纽smax新闻和CNN。根据她的领英主页信息，自今年6月起，她担任特朗普媒体科技集团及真相社交平台的高级传播顾问，此前她曾在国土安全部担任过两个月的高级官员。
扎卡里亚与年幼的子女定居在加利福尼亚州，在国土安全部任职期间，她往返于华盛顿通勤。一位了解相关情况的消息人士称，当时她曾告诉朋友，这种通勤方式无法长期维持。
扎卡里亚还曾担任保守派组织“修复加州”的法律顾问，该组织由特朗普盟友理查德·格雷内尔创立。
她于2006年乔治·W·布什政府时期以共和党全国委员会实习生的身份首次来到华盛顿。

President Donald Trump has selected Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator who worked briefly at the Department of Homeland Security, as his new press secretary, multiple White House officials told CNN.
Trump in recent days called a number of his close allies and advisers, including former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to seek their opinion of Zacharia, a person familiar with the discussions said. And the president sought Leavitt’s counsel before making a final decision and offering Zacharia the position, they said.
CNN has reached out to Zacharia, who was in the Oval Office with Trump earlier Friday morning, according to a person familiar.
Zacharia’s selection came about quickly. As of last week, she was not being considered for the role, another person familiar said.
Throughout the search to replace Leavitt, the White House struggled with higher-profile names, several of whom had previously criticized Trump. On multiple occasions, senior officials had narrowed down the list, only to find that candidates had said something negative about the president, disqualifying them from the position, according a White House official.
Zacharia’s been a frequent guest on Fox, Newsmax and CNN. And according to her LinkedIn profile, she’s served as a senior communications adviser at the Trump Media and Technology Group and Truth Social since June, which followed a two-month stint as a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security.
Zacharia, who has young children and lives in California, commuted back and forth to Washington when she was filling in at DHS. At the time, she told a friend the commute was not sustainable, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Zacharia has also served as a legal adviser for Fix California, a conservative group founded by Trump ally Richard Grenell.
She first came to Washington as an intern for the Republican National Committee during the George W. Bush administration in 2006.
