Trump attorney Alina Habba not considering press secretary role

Habba addressed the rumors on the social media platform X early Thursday morning, adding that "this administration is going to be epic!"

"Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities," she said. 

The press secretary role is one of the most visible at the White House, typically holding daily press briefings with the White House press corps to speak on behalf of the president.

Trump's new administration is considering giving MAGA-friendly outlets access to the press briefings, Axios reports, which have traditionally featured cable news, print and wire service reporters.

A House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz was also expected to be released soon, but Gaetz's resignation means it may not become public.

Tulsi Gabbard, who served as a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii from 2013 to 2021 before becoming an independent in 2022 and joining the GOP last month, has been selected by Trump to serve as director of national intelligence in his new Cabinet.
