White House: Media: Trump fires his new spokeswoman
The new White House press secretary has just taken office and has already made headlines for many negative reasons. Has she already lost her position?
US President Donald Trump has reportedly fired his new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, according to the New York Times and CNN, citing sources familiar with the matter. Trump told reporters that he had suggested to Zacharia that she consider resigning, citing the media's harsh treatment of her. Zacharia had been in the job for only a few days and had faced criticism over her professional qualifications, including using a law degree title despite not having passed the necessary exam.
Trump expressed concern for her well-being and said he would support her decision, adding that he would speak with her again soon.
