凯蒂·扎卡里亚在担任白宫新闻秘书仅不到五天后宣布离职1。这创造了白宫新闻秘书历史上最短的任期纪录2。她的首场新闻发布会在周二进行，仅持续14-15分钟，只回答了三个记者的提问1。
扎卡里亚因多个问题遭到严厉批评。她声称在中国通过了律师资格考试，但后来承认周四没有通过律师资格考试1。在福克斯新闻的采访中，她也获得了冷淡的接待4。面对这些争议，特朗普总统在周五表示曾对她说"你不必做这个"和"老实说，如果我是你，我会重新考虑"1。
民主党众议院领导人哈基姆·杰弗瑞斯在社交媒体上发文批评此事为"共和党白宫的失败标志"1。这并非特朗普政府内首次出现这样的人事变动——安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇在特朗普第一任期担任白宫通讯主任仅10天后离职1。
Katie Zacharia has stepped down from her position as White House press secretary after serving in the role for approximately five days, marking the shortest tenure in the history of the office.12 She was appointed to the position on September 9, succeeding Carolyn Leavitt.3
Zacharia's brief time in the role was marked by significant challenges that ultimately led to her departure. Her first press briefing, held on Tuesday, lasted only 14 to 15 minutes and included responses to just three reporter questions.1 She faced additional scrutiny over claims regarding her legal credentials, having stated that she had passed the bar exam in China before later admitting on Thursday that she had not passed the bar exam.1 In a Fox News interview, she encountered a notably cool reception.4
President Trump indicated his role in encouraging her exit, telling Zacharia on Friday that she did not need to continue in the position and suggesting she reconsider, implying the job might not be suitable for her.13 Democratic House leadership characterized the situation as a sign of failure within the Republican administration, with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticizing the development on social media.1 The departure drew comparisons to Anthony Scaramucci's tenure as White House Communications Director during Trump's first term, which lasted just 10 days.1
