- Trump offered Dana White the White House press secretary post on November 7, calling the UFC chief a “violent Fighter and Warrior” and posting, “Dana, please take the job!”
- Dana White said he was flying to Washington “right now” to meet Trump on Monday, November 9, and shared a possibly AI-generated image of himself at the White House lectern.
- White House has lacked a press secretary since October 16, when Katie Zacharia left after less than a week in the job; White cannot take the position unless he formally accepts.
- Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats for “extraction at the highest level,” denied impeachable offenses by his administration and called for prison time for those he labeled “EXTORTIONISTS.”
- Stephen Miller was named Trump’s next chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles in the first staffing change following the Republican midterm defeat.
- Trump listed six UFC fighters he wanted White to bring into the White House as advisers, including two Russians and one Brazilian, saying they were needed to “defend us against the Lunatic Left.”
- Democrats won both chambers and will hold committee control in January, with authority to summon officials, demand documents and conduct hearings; likely probes include the Trump family’s business and cryptocurrency dealings, Elon Musk’s government contracts, immigration enforcement, the Iran war and Jeffrey Epstein files.
Why it matters: Democrats gain oversight power in January: both chambers can summon officials, demand documents and hold hearings, though removal still needs a two-thirds Senate vote. At the White House, Dana White is only a candidate for the vacant press-secretary job, while Stephen Miller is already installed as chief of staff.
