Zacharia hosted widely panned first briefing on Tuesday and faced scrutiny after admitting she didn’t pass bar exam
Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired on Friday, just five days after she assumed the role, according to a White House official.
The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the personnel decision that had not yet been formally announced. Zacharia, a little-known conservative political commentator prior to her selection as Trump’s chief spokesperson, came under immediate scrutiny after a widely panned inaugural briefing on Tuesday. The 14-minute exchange was soon followed by a barrage of questions over her legal credentials after she admitted she did not pass the bar exam.
