She is currently a senior communications adviser at Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social. She has appeared on news networks, including Fox News and Newsmax, as a legal and political analyst. Her media work has given her experience explaining political issues and responding to questions about government policies. Zacharia has also worked with Fix California, a conservative advocacy organisation founded by Ric Grenell, a longtime Trump ally. The group focuses on political reform and conservative causes in California. Her work with the organisation has connected her to state-level politics as well as the wider Republican movement.
