Trump ally hints she could serve as his press secretary

Alina Habba, a former lawyer for Mr Trump, initially laughed off Fox News host Sean Hannity’s attempts to ask her about reports she is the “favourite” for the role.

She eventually conceded, saying that she would “very seriously” consider an opportunity to be White House press secretary.
