Trump says new press secretary should 'reconsider' role just days after she got the job

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is leaving the role after only days in the job, according to news agencies. US President Donald Trump indicated he had encouraged her to reconsider her position. The US president told the new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia to “reconsider” her job just days after her first press briefing faced criticism.

Katie Zacharia’s first press room briefing got off to a rocky start on Tuesday, before it emerged that her previous claims to be a lawyer were not true.
