Laura Ingraham under consideration for White House press secretary

BY JONATHAN SWAN -

Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham is under serious consideration to be Donald Trump's White House press secretary, according to two sources with direct knowledge.

Trump appreciated Ingraham's loyalty through the campaign. A former white-collar defense attorney and Supreme Court law clerk, Ingraham helped Trump with debate preparation. She also campaigned on his behalf and offered occasional strategic advice.

With the possible exceptions of Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Breitbart, no media figure or outlet did more to promote Trump's candidacy than Ingraham.

She used her profile as a Fox News contributor, her nationally syndicated radio show and her website LifeZette.com to advocate on his behalf. Trump also tapped into Ingraham's years of dirt-digging on the Clintons to sharpen his attacks on the Democratic nominee.

Ingraham would not comment for this article. A source familiar told The Hill that she's in contact with people in Trump's inner circle and has expressed interest in the role.

Delicious.  She'd have to take a pay cut, no doubt.

But it might be worth it since she's gobsmacked by Trump

Ingraham is the queen of snark.  Journalists love snark.

She would be a good choice because she would have no problem handling the journ-hole-ists.

She would actually make the press conferences fun.

Hannity's locked into a long-term contract with a major network (Premiere/iHeart). Ingraham's probably year-to-year with a much smaller outfit (Courtside, the company founded by Norman Pattiz after he sold off Westwood One).

Besides, this isn't unprecedented. Tony Snow was hosting a show for Fox when George W. Bush hired him as press secretary.
