Katie Zacharia wants everyone to know she is not trying out for her old gig.

The onetime White House press secretary is pushing back on a fresh report claiming she has been working to catch President Trump's eye again. The story also said she has been courting Stephen Miller, who was just named his chief of staff.

Zacharia called the claim "utterly fake."

Her response

"I maintain a loyal and great relationship with the President, but this story is utterly fake," she said.

She kept going. "They're spreading abject lies from anonymous sources. Reporters that are complicit in continuing to spread fake news and lies are a big problem and are a part of why people don't trust the media. I am not auditioning for the role."

Five days on the job

Zacharia was let go on October 16 after only five days as press secretary. Her exit followed a single press briefing that drew heavy criticism.
