White House: US circles - Trump's spokeswoman Zacharia gives up post after just five days

Katie Zacharia, the 36-year-old Press Secretary for Donald Trump, has resigned just five days into her new role.

Trump had expressed doubts about her suitability for the job, citing concerns that she was being treated "very badly and unfairly" by the media.
