White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is out after just five days on the job. President Trump told reporters Friday that he would talk to Zacharia about a new role. She took over from Karoline Leavitt, who left to join Fox News as a contributor.
Though Zacharia has styled herself as an “attorney,” she has since acknowledged that she did not pass the bar exam and is not licensed to practice law. She had a brief 14-minute press conference on Tuesday, taking only three questions, and on Thursday endured a grilling from Fox host Sean Hannity. Zacharia defended calling herself a “lawyer” because she had a valid law degree.
Her faltering performance led to speculation about whether she would outlast Anthony Scaramucci, the press secretary who survived just 11 days in Trump’s first term.
