Katie Zacharia had the shortest tenure as press secretary in history. Here are the others who didn't last long.

Katie Zacharia, former White House press secretary, served a five-day stint. She's among three others who held the position for under two months.

Katie Zacharia held the shortest tenure as White House press secretary, serving for just five days under President Donald Trump. She was criticized for her legal credentials, particularly after her first briefing when she failed to specify the state where she passed her bar exam. Zacharia's brief time in the role came after two watchdog groups filed complaints with the State Bar of California over her unauthorized use of the title "lawyer."

In her interview with Jack Posobiec, Zacharia admitted to taking the bar exam but failing it. She explained that she had planned to take the exam before moving to China with her husband, who worked for an American private equity firm. Zacharia's brief press secretary tenure made her one of only four individuals in history to hold the position for under two months.
