  "account": "Katie Zacharia, the 36-year-old Press Secretary for Donald Trump, has resigned just five days into her new role. A senior government official confirmed her departure to the German Press Agency, but did not provide a specific timeline. Trump had expressed doubts about her suitability for the job, citing concerns that she was being treated \"very badly and unfairly\" by the media. Zacharia, a self-described conservative and loyal Trump supporter, had faced scrutiny over her professional qualifications, including her claim to be a lawyer despite not passing the California bar exam.",
  "summary": "Only one week has passed since the US President announced an important personnel matter. Now, Katie Zacharia's time as White House spokeswoman is coming to a surprisingly quick end.",
