White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Is Leaving Her Post
Al Jazeera has confirmed that White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is "transitioning out" of her role. The outlet's video headline says Donald Trump told the new press secretary to reconsider the job.
Katie Zacharia, the press secretary for the US president's administration at the White House, is leaving her position. Al Jazeera, the international news outlet, confirmed that she is "transitioning out" of the role.
The press secretary serves as the administration's public spokesperson, delivering announcements and answering questions from journalists. A change in the post therefore affects how the White House communicates with the media and the public.
The headline of Al Jazeera's video report says US President Donald Trump told the new press secretary to "reconsider" her role. The source gives no further details: it does not explain why Zacharia is leaving, when the change will take effect or who might replace her.
Further information about the decision and its circumstances is still awaited.
