(Fox News) President-elect Trump’s senior adviser and attorney Alina Habba says she is not considering the role of press secretary, despite “support and speculation.”
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.
Names under consideration include Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt, former Trump administration official Monica Crowley, former ESPN host Sage Steele, CNN contributor Scott Jennings and Republican National Committee spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko, according to Axios.
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 plans to challenge longstanding traditions that favor mainstream outlets like major broadcast and cable news networks, national newspapers and wire services, like The Associated Press, in the James Brady Press Briefing Room, according to Axios.

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.
