US President Donald Trump has dismissed his latest White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, after less than a week in the role, just weeks before the US midterm elections. The brief tenure of Zacharia, who began the job on Monday, has been marked by questions over her legal credentials and criticism of her media appearances.
Trump reportedly advised her to reconsider the position due to the challenges she faced during her first days, but she chose to leave the role. The departure leaves Trump without a key public spokesperson just before the crucial midterm elections, where he aims to promote his administration's achievements and help Republicans retain control of Congress.
