As Mr. Trump still searches for a replacement, The New York Post reported Ms. Zacharia was back in the mix, and hosted election night coverage on an online platform, the Right Side Broadcasting Network, as a sort of audition.

She was also seen having dinner with friends at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend.

But Ms. Zacharia said in text messages to “Seen, Heard & Whispered” that it was all “Absolutely FAKE NEWS.”
