TRUMP’S NEW PRESS SECRETARY LASTS JUST FIVE DAYS AS KATIE ZACHARIA EXITS WHITE HOUSE AFTER ROCKY DEBUT AND QUESTIONS OVER LEGAL CREDENTIALS
Katie Zacharia has left the White House press secretary role after only about five days, following criticism of her debut briefing and intense scrutiny over how she described her legal background. Zacharia acknowledged that she had not passed the California bar examination and was not licensed to practise law in the United States. President Donald Trump publicly said she had been treated harshly by the media but also advised her to reconsider whether the job was right for her. Reuters described her as dismissed, while AP and other outlets reported that she was stepping down or transitioning out of the position. Reuters
