Katie Zacharia Resigns as Trump's Press Secretary After Five Days
New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia resigned after just five days in office amid widespread criticism of her performance and scrutiny over her legal background. President Donald Trump reportedly advised her to reconsider the role, saying she did not have to take it if it was unsuitable for her. This brief tenure is shorter than that of Anthony Scaramucci's 2017 communications director stint. Zacharia faced backlash after a shaky first press briefing and struggled during media interactions. She also came under fire over claims about her legal credentials, including reports she never passed the bar exam. Trump defended Zacharia against what he described as harsh treatment by the media.
