President Donald Trump said Sunday that Katie Zacharia, his new White House press secretary, will hold her first press conference next week. Trump said Zacharia will begin her term on Monday, Columbus Day, and that she will deliver an introductory briefing on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., according to The Hill’s report of Trump’s remarks.

The White House role of press secretary is the administration’s chief point of contact for daily briefings and question-and-answer sessions with reporters, as well as a coordinator for the timing and format of official communications. Zacharia’s first briefing is expected to mark the start of her in-person schedule in the briefing room, following her appointment to the post.

The Hill reported Trump made the announcement while speaking publicly on Sunday, describing Zacharia’s start date and the time of her first news conference. The report did not describe any additional changes to briefing procedures, nor did it provide further detail on the agenda for the Tuesday session.

A White House or Federal Register posting confirming the timing of a press secretary’s first briefing was not found in the materials provided for this story. As a result, Apex Times is reporting the schedule as stated by Trump to reporters, as characterized by The Hill, and additional confirmation may be sought directly from official White House communications.

Zacharia’s first briefing is scheduled to occur as the administration continues to manage ongoing federal policy and messaging across departments. The press secretary’s briefings are a recurring forum for questions on immigration, public safety, regulatory actions, and other executive-branch priorities, and the initial briefing commonly sets the tone for how the office addresses those issues.

If the White House releases an official briefing notice or publishes a confirmation of the briefing time, it could further clarify the media logistics for Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. and provide additional context for what reporters should expect in Zacharia’s first days on the job.

Why It Matters

  • The press secretary is the administration’s primary public-facing role for briefing reporters, and the timing of an inaugural briefing affects when media can begin direct Q-and-A with the new spokesperson.
  • The Tuesday 9:30 a.m. briefing will set the operational cadence for day-to-day communications during the early period of the new press secretary’s tenure.
  • The lack of independently provided official confirmation in the available record means the schedule may need to be cross-checked against later White House communications.
