Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump, has now reportedly turned down the chance to be President-elect Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary.
This week, she became the front-runner for the job and went to Mar-a-Lago to talk about it.
Four sources said that Trump’s top advisor and lawyer was the front-runner for the job.
Habba went to Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday to talk about a possible job.
On Thursday morning, she said she would not be the press secretary however.
“While I am flattered by the support and speculation, the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering. Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities. This administration is going to be epic! So proud of the Trump team, the latest appointments and 47!” Habba wrote on X.
