Katie Zacharia has been fired from her role as White House press secretary after less than five days on the job.
A senior White House official told the Daily Mail that Zacharia is ‘transitioning out’ of the position on Friday.
Earlier, Donald Trump told reporters at the White House he asked her to consider quitting.
‘You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,’ Trump said he told Zacharia. ‘Honestly if I were you I’d reconsider.’
‘Maybe it’s not for her,’ Trump added. When asked if he would fire her, Trump responded: ‘No, I want her to have a good life.’
