Dana White will be meeting President Donald Trump in person to discuss his offer to become the next White House Press Secretary … TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Dana is in London for his boxing match tonight but will meet with Trump Monday in the Oval Office to talk things over.
We reported earlier … Trump revealed on Truth Social Saturday that he had extended the offer to Dana.
In his post, Trump widely praised Dana, writing that he’d “be a Press Secretary like none other.”
In fact, Trump even directly pleaded to him … “Dana, please take the job!”
We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if Dana accepts the position or not.
As you may know … there’s been a few breadcrumbs left by the White House over the past few weeks about who the next press secretary might be.
Just before the Republicans’ devastating midterm defeat, a couple of White House staffers floated none other than Nicki Minaj as a possible option to take over the reins.
The vacancy comes after Katie Zacharia was ousted from the role after just 5 days in the position … with Vice President JD Vance reportedly breaking the news to her during an interview.
