The UFC's Dana White on Monday appeared behind the podium of the White House's Brady Briefing Room and fielded questions from reporters after President Donald Trump previously said he had jokingly offered him the role of press secretary.

White said that he had not commented on the offer to let Trump handle the matter with reporters.

Some reporters asked White serious questions, included his advice to the administration.

"I don't advise the president on anything," White responded, when pressed on a potential pardon for baseball player Pete Rose.

Throughout the press conference, Trump also answered questions, including on foreign affairs.
