Trump Ousts White House Press Secretary After Just One Week

Donald Trump has removed Katie Zacharia from her position as White House press secretary. Her tenure ended after just seven days on the job. Trump advisers confirmed the decision on Friday.

Trump spoke to reporters before departing for a rally in Georgia. He said he advised Zacharia to reconsider her role. He questioned whether she really wanted the difficult position. Trump praised her loyalty, but he admitted the job might not be right for her.

Zacharia drew Trump's attention as a conservative television commentator. However, her lack of experience quickly became an issue. She appeared nervous during her first press briefing on Tuesday and answered only three questions. Growing questions about her background also created concern among White House staff.
