New press secretary Katie Zacharia had a rough start at the White House this week as she landed in a small corner office while President Donald Trump’s enforcer kept the large office press secretaries traditionally use.

Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, is “the current occupant of the large office in the White House West Wing traditionally occupied by the press secretary,” CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs wrote on X Tuesday.

Zacharia “is in the small corner office in that suite of rooms,” Jacobs wrote. The arrangement added to a tough first day for Zacharia, who now shares that suite with an aide known for insulting reporters....

The Supreme Court granted a Justice Department request to review an order that could expose how much power the White House’s cost-cutting office wielded over firings and spending cuts across the government.

The justices granted the petition Tuesday, according to the court’s docket. The government is fighting a lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington seeking records from the Department of Government Efficiency, officially known as the U.S. DOGE Service.

CREW argues the office wielded enough independent power to fall under the Freedom of Information Act. It’s the second time the case has reached the justices, who last year reined in an earlier order, the Associated Press reported....

U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle lavished praise on President Donald Trump after his White House asked her to resign.

Guilfoyle’s praise came in a lengthy statement she posted on X Tuesday, the same day White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the request at her debut briefing. The move came amid scrutiny of Guilfoyle’s conduct before and after she became ambassador, CNBC reported.

“Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world,” Guilfoyle wrote....

A pardoned Jan. 6 conspirator says President Donald Trump rescued him after Britain barred him from U.K. airspace.

Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the far-right Proud Boys, made the claim in a post on X early Tuesday, writing that he was “finally on my way back home.”

British Airways had refused to fly him out of Warsaw a day earlier, after Britain’s Home Office denied the airline permission to carry him, according to a notice Tarrio shared on X....

President Donald Trump’s top broadcast regulator ordered an investigation, CNN reported, after a Republican senator called an ABC News story about venture capitalist Donald Trump Jr. a “hit job.”

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr directed his agency to open the probe after receiving the senator’s letter, an FCC source told CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, who posted the news on X on Monday.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) posted that letter on Saturday, urging Carr to open a formal investigation into the network over its since-corrected report on investments tied to the president’s sons....
