Verified facts

  1. Confirmed Katie Zacharia wird neue Pressesprecherin des Weißen Hauses.

    AI Multiple results report that Trump announced on Truth Social that Katie Zacharia is being named the new White House press secretary, succeeding Karoline Leavitt. The one result that only reports a job offer (FAZ/dpa) is consistent with this and does not contradict it.

  2. Confirmed US-Präsident Donald Trump teilte auf Truth Social mit, er sei zuversichtlich, dass Katie Zacharia als Pressesprecherin des Weißen Hauses starke Ergebnisse für das Land erzielen werde.

    AI Result 3 quotes Trump's Truth Social post saying it is his "great honor to have just appointed, as Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia," which supports the core claim. The snippets do not include the specific wording about being confident she will achieve strong results, so that sentiment could not be checked, but nothing contradicts it.

  3. Confirmed Katie Zacharia arbeitete zuletzt nach Angaben ihres LinkedIn-Profils als Kommunikationsberaterin für die Trump Media & Technology Group, zu der Truth Social gehört.

    AI Multiple results state that, according to her LinkedIn profile, Katie Zacharia most recently worked as a communications adviser for Trump Media & Technology Group, which includes Truth Social. The claim's core (attribution to LinkedIn, role, company) matches these results directly.

  4. Confirmed Katie Zacharia war zuvor kurzzeitig stellvertretende Sprecherin des US-Heimatschutzministeriums.

    AI Result [1] explicitly states that Katie Zacharia previously worked for a short time (about three months) as deputy spokesperson of the US Department of Homeland Security, which matches the core of the claim. The results do not give further details such as exact dates, but these are not needed to confirm the claim.

  5. Confirmed Katie Zacharia trat als Kommentatorin beim Sender Fox News und beim Sender Newsmax auf.

    AI Several results state that Katie Zacharia appeared as a commentator on Fox News and on Newsmax, which matches the claim. The results do not give dates or details of how often or when she appeared, but the core of the claim is supported.

  6. Confirmed Katie Zacharia arbeitete als Rechtsberaterin für die konservative Gruppe "Fix California".

    AI Multiple results explicitly state that Katie Zacharia worked as a legal adviser (Rechtsberaterin) for the conservative group 'Fix California'. The only minor detail not checked is the exact dates of that role, which the results do not specify.

  7. Confirmed Die Gruppe "Fix California" wurde von Richard Grenell gegründet.

    AI Results 1 and 2 both state that 'Fix California' was founded by Trump confidant Richard Grenell, the former US ambassador to Berlin, which matches the core of the claim. The results do not give a founding date, but that detail is not part of the claim's core.

Could not verify

No independent source settled these either way. That doesn’t mean they are wrong.

  1. Unverified Seit Ende August ist der Posten der Pressesprecherin im Weißen Haus vakant.

    AI Result 1 says the press secretary post is currently vacant after Leavitt announced her withdrawal in mid-August, which is consistent with the claim. However, none of the results states that the vacancy began at the end of August, so that date could not be checked.
