Katie Zacharia is leaving her job as White House press secretary. She held the job for less than a week.

Trump announced her appointment on October 9. Karoline Leavitt held the job before her.

Her public debut in the role was on Tuesday. Media criticism focused on her credentials and preparedness.

Critics also questioned how she described her legal career. They questioned how she handled her first briefing.

She claimed to be a lawyer without passing a bar exam. The New York Times said she left after these questions.

Trump said Friday he had told Zacharia to reconsider the role. Fox News reported the White House said she is 'transitioning out.' Fox News Digital spoke with several White House reporters about her exit.
