White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Out After One Week on the Job

Katie Zacharia is departing her role as White House press secretary just one week after President Donald Trump announced her appointment, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal.
Her exit comes amid intense scrutiny regarding her past professional credentials—specifically claims of being a lawyer despite lacking an active U.S. law license—alongside widespread criticism of her first official press briefing.
President Trump told reporters on Friday that he advised Zacharia to reconsider remaining in the position, noting that she had faced unusually harsh media coverage following her debut.
