Katie Zacharia is being moved out of her position as White House press secretary after just one week on the job. The move follows a rocky start to her tenure, during which she faced mounting questions regarding her background and resume.
President Donald Trump stated that he encouraged Zacharia to reconsider her position, telling her, you don't have to do this. Trump noted that he had spoken with Zacharia and expressed his feeling that she did not deserve the negative media coverage she received.
The president made these remarks before heading to Georgia for a rally aimed at boosting Republicans in the final days before the midterm elections.
