Trump despide a la portavoz de la Casa Blanca cinco días después de nombrarla

Just five days after nominating her, President Donald Trump has dismissed Katie Zacharia as the White House press secretary, according to The New York Times and CNN. The Republican leader reportedly told Zacharia, "If I were you, I'd reconsider that position," before attending an event in Georgia. Zacharia had gained Trump's attention as a conservative television commentator, and her appointment came after other candidates were deemed unsuitable due to critical comments about the President.

However, her inexperience was quickly exposed on Tuesday at the White House, where she appeared nervous and answered only three questions in 14 minutes. She also struggled with some issues, such as the exchange of intelligence information with Ukraine. Criticism of her debut was joined by doubts about her professional background.

Trump introduced Zacharia as a lawyer upon announcing her appointment, but she later admitted that she did not pass the California bar exam in 2011 after graduating from Pepperdine University's law school. On Fox & Friends tonight, Trump reportedly told Zacharia, "You don't have to do this if you don't want to," adding that he only wished for her happiness.

On Friday, Zacharia defended herself in an interview with Fox News, arguing that her role is to represent the President to the press, not to serve as a lawyer for the White House.
