Katie Zacharia’s tenure as White House press secretary has ended just five days after she took up the post, according to the White House.
During her brief time in the role, Zacharia held one press briefing. The White House described her departure by saying that she was “transitioning out” of the position.
The development brings an unusually short tenure to an end after only a few days in office. No further details about the circumstances of the change were provided in the supplied material.
Zacharia’s departure follows her first and only briefing as press secretary. The latest known position is that she is leaving the role, with the White House describing the process as a transition out of the post.
