President Donald Trump recently announced that he extended an offer to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief executive Dana White to serve as the White House press secretary. This came after the departure of former press secretary, Katie Zacharia, who resigned following a tumultuous five-day tenure.
On Truth Social, Trump expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” and urged White to accept the position. Despite this public endorsement, reports from CNN indicate that White declined the offer.
White shared an image on Instagram, showing him at the White House podium, with a caption referencing his next steps. At a boxing event in London, White mentioned that he planned to visit Washington, D.C., for further discussions, hinting at more updates to come.
The White House has not yet commented on this development. White’s previous collaboration with President Trump involved organizing the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn, a venture that reportedly incurred significant financial losses.
White has been a controversial figure in combat sports and beyond. He faced backlash after a video emerged showing him slap his wife, Anne White, during a New Year’s Eve party in 2022. Following the incident, White issued a public apology, and the couple remained together.
