UFC CEO Dana White has declined an offer from President Trump to serve as White House press secretary, according to a source cited by CNN. The decision keeps White, a longtime Trump ally and prominent surrogate, in his current role leading the mixed martial arts promotion rather than joining the administration's communications team. The move matters because it leaves the press secretary post to be filled by another candidate as Trump assembles his communications operation. White's public profile and close ties to Trump had made him a high-profile potential pick for the role.
