Susie Wiles helped arrange Katie Zacharia’s Fox News interview before her exit: Report
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles reportedly helped arrange Katie Zacharia’s Fox News interview shortly before she was removed as press secretary.
In a week-long tenure as White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia left her post on October 16 after a tumultuous stint. Trump had initially praised her as a competent attorney, but she herself had not passed the bar exam and was a Pepperdine law graduate. Her week included a brief first briefing and limited media interaction.
When asked about her legal credentials, she claimed she had worked as a lawyer in China, though she had not passed the California bar exam. Zacharia's tenure was marked by a single briefing and limited exposure, ultimately leading to her transition out of the role just one week after being appointed.
