据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）“档案”栏目（KFile）对其社交媒体帖文的审查，总统唐纳德·特朗普提名的白宫新任新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚曾多次毫无根据地指控知名民主党人士恋童癖，并分享涉及阴谋论的内容，包括呼应已被证伪的“披萨门”阴谋论，以及声称好莱坞精英是恋童癖食人者的言论。
这些帖文大多发布于2022年，揭示了这位即将成为本届政府最显眼发言人之一的女性曾发表过大量煽动性言论和阴谋论内容。
扎卡里亚还有已删除的社交媒体活动记录，显示她曾主张强硬政策，并批评过她如今将要代表的政府。
她曾推动采取更激进的移民政策，在2025年6月的一系列已删除帖文中暗示，政府应该暂停对移民的人身保护令程序，称相关情况符合援引《宪法》关于叛乱或入侵情形下例外条款的条件。这项基本的法律保护允许民众在法庭上对自己被拘留的合法性提出质疑。
扎卡里亚还曾公开批评特朗普第二届政府的发展方向，在一条已删除的推文中警告共和党人可能在中期选举中遭遇“惨败”。
在另一条已删除的推文中，她转发了一篇指控美国司法部为杰弗里·爱泼斯坦丑闻中涉案人员掩盖真相的帖文。她还在Truth Social平台上转发了一条帖子，声称喜剧演员琼·里弗斯在称前总统巴拉克·奥巴马是同性恋、前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马拥有男性生殖器后离奇死亡。
针对外界就其过往社交媒体活动的质疑，扎卡里亚在给CNN的一份声明中表示：“我很感激能担任特朗普总统的新闻秘书，我将勤勉且高效地宣传他成功的施政议程。”
白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张在另一份声明中告诉CNN：“凯蒂是团队中出色且优秀的新成员。她具备独特的资质，聪明睿智，能够帮助美国民众了解特朗普总统及其政府正在推进的所有卓越工作，她担任新闻秘书将会表现得极为出色。”
白宫和扎卡里亚均未就这些帖文的具体内容作出回应。
扎卡里亚在X平台上的部分已删除帖文最早由《壁垒》杂志（The Bulwark）报道。她在Truth Social——特朗普创立的社交媒体平台，扎卡里亚曾在该平台担任通讯顾问——上的帖文目前仍在其账号中公开可见。
2022年在Truth Social平台的帖文中，扎卡里亚多次指控知名政治人物和好莱坞精英存在恋童癖行为，有时还提及关于有权势人士性侵儿童的阴谋论。
“恋童癖波德斯塔。#恋童癖波德斯塔”，扎卡里亚在2022年9月一篇提及约翰·波德斯塔的帖文中写道。约翰·波德斯塔是资深民主党政治顾问、前白宫幕僚长，曾是已被证伪的“披萨门”阴谋论的核心目标人物。
这一虚假阴谋论出现于2016年总统大选期间，当时与俄罗斯有关联的黑客泄露了时任希拉里·克林顿竞选团队主席波德斯塔的邮件。阴谋论者谎称邮件中包含儿童性交易的加密暗语，声称克林顿和其他知名民主党人士在华盛顿特区一家名为“彗星乒乓”的披萨店地下室运营儿童性虐待团伙。
该餐厅甚至根本没有地下室，而这些毫无根据的言论造成了现实后果：2016年12月，一名北卡罗来纳州男子持步枪闯入该餐厅，在试图调查所谓的人口贩卖团伙时开枪射击。
在首次发帖提及波德斯塔几天后，扎卡里亚在另一篇帖文中@了福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼提和特朗普，质问福克斯新闻为何不做专题报道“揭露波德斯塔是个恋童癖”。
在另一篇帖文中，扎卡里亚写道：“激进左翼好莱坞精英是病态的恋童癖食人者。你改变不了我的想法。”她回应的是2022年9月《 Variety》杂志的一篇文章，该文章报道演员提莫西·查拉梅凭借在《骨及所有》中的表演在威尼斯电影节获得起立鼓掌——这部电影讲述了一对相爱的年轻食人者的故事。
2022年2月俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰仅几周后，扎卡里亚还发帖似乎表达了对弗拉基米尔·普京的支持，转发了一则称俄罗斯总统正在对抗一个有权势精英组成的秘密网络的帖文。
“普京正在与阴谋集团开战——而乌克兰与他们勾结在一起，”这篇来自名为理查德·托马斯账号的帖文写道，帖文附带一张包含希拉里·克林顿、巴拉克·奥巴马、乔·拜登和亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯等知名政治人物的图片。
扎卡里亚还转发了极右翼活动家阿里·亚历山大的无根据言论，亚历山大曾协助组织“阻止偷窃”运动，该运动在特朗普2020年败选后散播了存在广泛选举欺诈的虚假主张。
“民主党人想要口罩掩盖，然后强奸你们的孩子。这就是他们的撒旦式纲领，”亚历山大在2022年4月的一篇帖文中写道，该帖文被扎卡里亚转发。
扎卡里亚还转发了Truth Social账号“Oinker”在2022年9月发布的一篇帖文，该帖文将时任总统乔·拜登和反法西斯抗议者比作纳粹，使用了“#反法西斯”“#恋童癖希特勒”和“#站错历史队”的话题标签。
扎卡里亚还转发了关于前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马和琼·里弗斯死亡的毫无根据的阴谋论。“还记得琼·里弗斯说过奥巴马是同性恋、米歇尔有阴茎，然后突然就死了吗？”扎卡里亚转发的这篇2022年7月的帖文写道。
在另一条已删除的推文中，扎卡里亚对特朗普第二届政府的发展方向表示不满，警告共和党如果不改变路线，可能会在2026年中期选举中遭遇毁灭性损失。
2025年12月，扎卡里亚回复了极右翼评论员迈克·瑟诺维奇的帖子，瑟诺维奇曾批评政府内一些官员将精力放在媒体露面、播客和加密货币项目上，而非兑现竞选承诺。
“我们曾有机会拯救我们的国家，”瑟诺维奇在帖文中写道，他哀叹知名人士反而在追求“名利场采访、播客和迷因币”。“如果我们现在不改变路线，2026年中期选举将是一场惨败，”扎卡里亚回复道。
扎卡里亚还转发了一项指控，称特朗普政府的司法部为参与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦性侵未成年人案件的人员掩盖真相。
2025年7月8日，扎卡里亚转发了右翼评论员罗根·奥汉德利（网名为DC Draino）的一篇帖文，该帖文质疑能否信任美国司法部。
“我本希望能对此感到振奋，”这篇帖文在讨论特朗普政府计划调查前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米及其他参与2016年俄罗斯干预大选调查的官员时写道。“但如果司法部会为爱泼斯坦恋童癖者掩盖真相，我们又怎能信任他们去追查这些人？”
就在转发这条帖文的前一天，美国司法部和联邦调查局发布了一份备忘录，得出结论称调查人员未发现爱泼斯坦“客户名单”的证据，也未找到可信证据证明爱泼斯坦敲诈知名人士。
这份备忘录引发了特朗普核心支持者的强烈反对，许多人指责时任司法部长帕姆·邦迪和其他政府官员在多年承诺公布更多记录后，隐瞒了有关爱泼斯坦的信息。
2025年6月，扎卡里亚还呼吁暂停向法院提出质疑拘留合法性的宪法权利。
“暂停人身保护令程序，”她在一篇由《壁垒》杂志率先报道的帖文中写道。在回复白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒的两条帖文中，她敦促以“入侵”为由暂停该程序，援引《宪法》中“在叛乱或入侵的情况下”允许暂停的条款。
米勒几周前曾表示，政府正在“积极研究”这一选项。
New White House press secretary has a history of conspiracy-laced social media posts
2026-10-12T20:25:38.675Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/12/politics/kfile-katie-zacharia-deleted-tweets
President Donald Trump’s incoming White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, repeatedly made baseless accusations of pedophilia against prominent Democrats and shared conspiracy-related content, including claims that echoed the debunked “Pizzagate” theory and that Hollywood elites were pedophilic cannibals, according to a CNN KFile review of her social media posts.
The posts, many from 2022, reveal a history of inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy-related content from a woman now poised to become one of the administration’s most visible spokespeople.
Zacharia also has a record of since-deleted social media activity that shows her advocating for hardline policies and criticizing the administration she is now poised to represent.
She pushed for more aggressive action on immigration, suggesting in a series of now-deleted posts from June 2025 that the administration should suspend habeas corpus for migrants because the circumstances justified invoking the Constitution’s exception for cases of rebellion or invasion. The fundamental legal protection allows people to challenge their detention in court.
Zacharia also publicly criticized the direction of Trump’s second administration, warning Republicans of a potential midterm “bloodbath” in a now-deleted tweet.
In another deleted tweet, she shared a post accusing the Justice Department of covering up for people implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. She also promoted on Truth Social a repost that claimed that comedian Joan Rivers died mysteriously after saying that former President Barack Obama was gay and that former first lady Michelle Obama had a penis.
In response to questions about her previous social media activity, Zacharia said in a statement to CNN, “I am grateful to serve President Trump as Press Secretary, and I will diligently and effectively amplify his successful agenda.”
In another statement, Steven Cheung, White House communications director, told CNN, “Katie is a fabulous and wonderful addition to the team. She is uniquely qualified and whip smart to help inform the American people about all the great things President Trump and his Administration have been doing, and she will do an incredible job as Press Secretary.”
Neither the White House nor Zacharia addressed the content of the posts.
Some of Zacharia’s since-deleted posts on X were first reported by The Bulwark. Her posts on Truth Social, the social media platform founded by Trump where she worked as communications adviser, remain publicly available on her account.
In posts on Truth Social in 2022, Zacharia repeatedly accused prominent political figures and Hollywood elites of pedophilia, at times invoking conspiracy theories about powerful people sexually abusing children.
“Pedo Podesta. #pedoPodesta,” Zacharia wrote in a September 2022 post about John Podesta, a longtime Democratic political operative and former White House chief of staff who had been a central target of the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
The false theory emerged during the 2016 presidential election after Russian-linked hackers released emails belonging to Podesta, then Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. Conspiracy theorists falsely claimed the emails contained coded references to child sex trafficking and that Clinton and other prominent Democrats were operating a child sex abuse ring out of the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a pizzeria in Washington, DC.
The restaurant did not even have a basement, and the baseless claims had real-world consequences when in December 2016, a North Carolina man armed with a rifle entered the restaurant and fired shots while attempting to investigate the supposed trafficking ring.
Days after her first post on Podesta, Zacharia tagged Fox News host Sean Hannity and Trump in another post, asking why Fox News didn’t do a “feature” on “what a pedophile Podesta is.”
In another post, Zacharia wrote, “The radical left Hollywood elitists are sick pedo cannibals. Change my mind,” responding to a September 2022 Variety article about actor Timothée Chalamet receiving a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival for his role in “Bones and All,” a film about two young cannibals in love.
Just weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Zacharia also posted seemingly in support of Vladimir Putin, reposting a post that the Russian president was fighting a secret network of powerful elites.
“Putin is at war with the CABAL – and the Ukraine is in bed with them,” read the post from an account named Richard Tomas, which included an image featuring prominent political figures, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and billionaire George Soros.
Zacharia also reposted a baseless claim from Ali Alexander, a far-right activist who helped organize the “Stop the Steal” movement that promoted false claims of widespread election fraud following Trump’s 2020 defeat.
“Democrats want to mask and rape your children. That’s their satanic platform,” Alexander wrote in an April 2022 post that Zacharia shared.
Zacharia also reposted a September 2022 post from a Truth Social account called “Oinker” that compared then-President Joe Biden and anti-fascist protesters to Nazis, using the hashtags “#Antifa,” “#PedoHitler” and “#WrongSideOfHistory.”
Zacharia also reposted the baseless conspiracy theory about former first lady Michelle Obama and the death of Joan Rivers. “Remember that time Joan Rivers said Obama was gay and Michelle had a dick then suddenly died?” read the July 2022 post that Zacharia shared.
In another since-deleted tweet, Zacharia expressed frustration with the direction of Trump’s second administration, warning that the GOP could face devastating losses in the 2026 midterm elections if they didn’t shift course.
In a December 2025 post, Zacharia responded to far-right commentator Mike Cernovich, who had criticized figures in the administration for focusing on media appearances, podcasts and cryptocurrency schemes rather than delivering on their promises.
“We had our chance to save our country,” Cernovich wrote, lamenting that prominent figures were instead pursuing “vanity fair interviews, podcasts, and meme coins.” “2026 Midterms will be a bloodbath if we don’t shift course now,” Zacharia replied.
Zacharia also amplified an accusation that the Trump administration’s Justice Department was covering up for people involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors.
On July 8, 2025, Zacharia retweeted a post from right-wing commentator Rogan O’Handley, known online as DC Draino, that questioned whether the Justice Department could be trusted.
“I wish I could get excited about this,” the post read, discussing Trump plans to investigate former FBI Director James Comey and other officials involved in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. “But if the DOJ will cover up for Epstein pedos, how can we trust them to go after these guys?”
The repost came just a day after the Justice Department and FBI released a memo concluding that investigators had found no evidence of an Epstein “client list,” and no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.
The memo had sparked backlash from prominent Trump supporters, many of whom accused then-Attorney General Pam Bondi and other administration officials of concealing information about Epstein after years of promises to release additional records.
In June 2025, Zacharia also called for suspending the constitutional right to challenge one’s detention in court.
“Suspend habeas corpus,” she wrote in one post, first reported by The Bulwark. In two replies to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, she urged suspending it “for reasons of Invasion,” citing the Constitution’s clause allowing suspension “in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion.”
Miller had said weeks earlier that the administration was “actively looking at” the option.
