Reports Claim Trump Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Left Role After Five Days

Reports on Friday said Katie Zacharia left her role as White House press secretary only five days after taking office. The White House described the move as a transition, while President Donald Trump said he had discussed with her whether she wanted to remain in the position. Zacharia’s first briefing reportedly lasted less than 15 minutes and drew criticism over its limited questions and her use of prepared notes. Her appointment also faced scrutiny over her legal credentials after questions arose about whether she had been admitted to a bar in the United States. She said she had worked in international transactional law with the required credentials, but a reported investigation found no record of her admission as an attorney in any US state or Washington, DC. The White House has not given a detailed public explanation for her departure.
