Trump Removes Press Secretary Katie Zacharia After Five Days

In October 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump removed Katie Zacharia from her role as White House press secretary after just five days on the job. The decision was reported by multiple news outlets, with advisers confirming she was fired or let go.

The move came shortly after Zacharia started the position, and it drew attention because of the unusually short tenure. The White House has not provided further details on the reasons for her departure.
