Description
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia was fired less than a week into the job, following a rocky debut briefing with reporters on Oct 13 that lasted under 15 minutes. She then faced controversy over revelations that she had falsely claimed to be a lawyer. US President Donald Trump said he told Zacharia to “reconsider” the role after she was treated “very badly by the media”. https://cna.asia/4e26quz Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
