A former president has claimed he advised a potential appointee that she might reconsider accepting a high-profile role, suggesting she had faced undue criticism from the media.

Details on the specific job and the nature of the alleged media bias remain unclear.
Trump said he told Zacharia that she might want to change her mind about the job, and said he thought she had been treated unfairly by the press.
